ARLINGTON, Texas -- Despite a two-year stay, Breck Clark will be remembered for the heart and soul she dedicated to the UTA women's basketball program.

As a transfer from NOC-Enid last season, Clark immediately noticed a rare bond among the Lady Mavericks she couldn't have found anywhere else. She wanted more than anything to feel like a member of the family and set out to see it succeed.

"I just love Breck as a person," UTA coach Krista Gerlich said. "She has a good heart and a laid back spirit. I don't know that her playing time and experience has been all that she's wanted it to be, but you would never know that. She's about our accomplishments as a team to further our achievements. She's a great representative of UTA and our program."

Clark and Ally Te'o will both be honored for their careers at UTA prior to Saturday's matchup against South Alabama. The Lady Mavericks host the Jaguars at 2 p.m. at College Park Center.

Clark began her collegiate basketball career with the Lady Jets in 2013-14. She was named a third team All-American and 2014 Region II Champion after averaging 16.8 points and 7.1 rebounds. Her role at UTA saw less time on the court, though her support and drive to see the Lady Mavs thrive as a unit came above all else.

Last season, Clark appeared in 27 games and recorded three double-digit scoring games. Now, she's come off the bench in 21 of the Lady Mavericks' 25 games, combining for 7.3 average minutes.

Clark and Te'o, who happen to be roomates, said they want to leave their identity at UTA as student-athletes who left the program better than they found it. That includes quality wins, better involvement in service and more of a giving spirit to the community that's offered them so much.

"This is the first team I've been on where we've done so much community service and I really like it," Clark said. "It's spending time with people who need our help and it's an eye-opening experience."

The senior said she'll miss the chemistry and friendships she's built with her teammates, though understands that bond is lifelong. Te'o said the two even have a plan in the works to continue rooming together after graduation.

"The bond that we have, you can't find that anywhere else except for sports," Clark said. "I'm going to miss it so much."
