Rebecca’s athletic journey has deep family roots. Her cousin, Celie Gervais (Long), attended Quincy University from 2006–2010, and her father, Greg Rheinheimer, played soccer at Washington University from 1995–1999, earning 1st and 2nd Team All-American honors and still holding the record for the third most goals scored in a season with 16. Her sister Anne currently plays soccer at St. Louis Community College.
Rebecca made her mark on the field early. While at Rockwood Summit, she earned All-Conference Honorable Mention and was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2021. She also set the goal-scoring record with the St. Louis Patriettes with 30 goals in 2023. She played for two seasons at St. Louis Community College before transferring to Quincy University.

Off the field, Rebecca enjoys reading and spending time with family and friends. After college, she plans to follow her calling and enter religious life as a sister in the convent.
Why QU?
