Victoria Hansen
“My experiences and opportunities as a high-profile student-athlete in the West Liberty community have transformed my life. Simply put, I’m not the same quiet little girl who came to this campus with the singular goal of developing my basketball skills. Four years later, I have found my ‘voice’ and grown into an outgoing and confident young woman who is ready to guide future generations as my teachers and coaches have guided me.”
What are they doing now?
Victoria is teaching math part time at a local prep school, and assists coaching middle school basketball.
School: West Liberty University
Division II
Conference: West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference
Major: Mathematics Education
Sport: Basketball
A mathematics education major, Hansen took the lead in the classroom throughout college.
Finishing her degree with a 4.0 GPA, she was the 2010-11 Capital One College Division Academic All-American of the Year as selected by CoSIDA and the 2009-10 NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners Association Atlantic Region Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Hansen dedicated significant time serving the West Liberty community, volunteering as a mathematics tutor and as an after-school counselor for inner-city youth. Her passion for children shone as she volunteered countless hours to West Liberty-led service days that created physical activity opportunities for youth, including those with physical challenges. She also supported her fellow West Liberty student-athletes, volunteering as a sports information student assistant, leading the stat crew for all volleyball matches.
On the court, Hansen was a three-time team captain from 2008 to 2011 and was the 2010-11 Daktronics NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Player of the Year. She is No. 2 on the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s all-time leading scoring list with 2,300 career points and was the nation’s third-leading scorer in back-to-back years during her sophomore and junior seasons.
