RIO GRANDE VALLEY, Texas – The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV) women’s basketball head coach Lane Lord announced on Friday the addition of forward Charlotte O’Keefe for the 2022-23 academic year.
“Charlotte is an outstanding addition to the UTRGV women’s basketball program,” Lord said. “Charlotte plays for Kansas high school legendary coach, Rick Hetzel. She has been extremely well coached, and she will be able to step into the program and play immediately as a freshman. At 6-3, Charlotte can really run the floor, and she is a physical forward that excels on both the defensive and offensive ends of the floor. Our staff and players are excited for Charlotte to join us in the Rio Grande Valley!”
O’Keefe, originally from Overland Park, Kansas, played basketball at Saint Thomas Aquinas High School where she helped her team to the 5A State Championship in 2019 and 2021.
O’Keefe was named to the 5A State All-Tournament team last season while also earning All-Eastern Kansas League Second Team honors.
O’Keefe joins Zariah Sango as part of this year’s signing class.
