UWEC Athletics Hall of Fame
Becky Westbrock was an NSCAA third-team All-American on the 2006 Blugold soccer team that won the conference, advanced to the NCAA tournament and set school records with 23 victories and 18 shutouts. She keyed the Blugold defense that allowed just 10 goals during a 26-game campaign in 2006. The Blugolds’ 23 victories and 18 shutouts that season were still both school and WIAC records at the time of her induction. Westbrock earned her second of three All-Conference First Team selections in 2005 when the Blugolds won the first conference championship in school history with a 6-0-2 record and also became the first Blugold team to advance to the NCAA championships where they advanced to the second round. During Westbrock’s senior season, the Blugolds went 8-0 in WIAC play and reached the third round of the NCAA playoffs which still represents the best effort ever by a Blugold women’s soccer team in post-season play.
Westbrock, who grew up in Oakdale, Minnesota and graduated from North St. Paul High School, earned a Healthcare Administration degree from UWEC in 2008. As an undergraduate, Westbrock was the department lead on healthcare related research. She also served a 2,000-hour accredited internship at St. Therese Care Center in New Hope, Minnesota. Following her graduation, Westbrock served as the Household Coordinator for Presbyterian Homes in Arden Hills, Minnesota. She then became the Director of Independent Living/Personal Care at The Gatesworth in St. Louis, Missouri. She was employed as Director of resident experience at Bridgemark Healthcare in Oak Park, Illinois before returning to her home state for positions with Presbyterian Homes and Services in Roseville. At the time of her induction and since January of 2021, she has been responsible for Client Success with MAX Services Inc., a company her husband Jacob founded in Chaska, Minnesota. She was also a mother of two.
