Siebert is perhaps the most successful female basketball player to come out of the Rio Grande Valley to star in high school and in the collegiate ranks.
At Harlingen High, Siebert terrorized opponents, leading the Lady Cardinals to the 1986 District 32-5A championship. She averaged 23.1 points per game as a senior and finished her three-year career with 1,499 points and 843 rebounds. She was named first team All-District and first team All-Valley.
After graduating from HHS in 1968, Siebert earned a scholarship to Texas Tech University where she played four years. Between her freshman and sophomore seasons, Siebert was selected to play in the 1987 U.S. Olympic Festival team.
At Tech, she earned second team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1989 and 1990, and was on the SWC Classic All-Tournament team both years as well. She finished her career at Tech with 1,315 points, 154 blocked shots (fifth all-time), and 10.4 rebounds per game (fourth all-time). She is ranked in the Top 10 at Tech with free throws attempted and made. Her career-high rebounding mark came in 1989 when she pulled down 23 boards against Texas A&M. She was chosen MVP by her teammates in 1989.
Tech had winning records each year Siebert was there under legendary Coach Marsha Sharp, who won a national championship in 1993 with Sheryl Swoopes. During Siebert’s four years from 1987-90, the Lady Raiders went 18-11, 17-13, 16-13 and 20-11, respectively.
