Kendra Rhea brings rebound-first grit and veteran polish to Santa Clara
Kendra Rhea’s profile is built on toughness, board work, and winning habits: in the 2002 season she grabbed 11 rebounds in a game against Oregon, and in January 2003 she posted 25 points and 16 rebounds over back-to-back wins, earning WCC Player of the Week honors. She was also a 2003 WCC Winter All-Academic selection, which adds a smart, steady layer to her game. The fit question? She looks like the kind of forward who raises a team’s physicality, effort, and consistency—exactly the glue-player edge coaches love.
