USC Upstate Women's Basketball standout Vera Söderblom is a resilient, high-impact presence on the roster - bringing toughness, determination, and a growing confidence every time she steps on the floor.

Originally from Sweden, Vera's journey has been shaped by perseverance and a deep-rooted athletic background. After battling back from a season-ending injury in 2023-24, she returned stronger than ever, turning adversity into motivation and quickly becoming a key piece of the Spartans' lineup.

Coming from a family of elite competitors - with brothers Arvid and Elmer playing in the NHL and a father who competed professionally in Sweden - Vera embodies resilience, proving that her impact goes far beyond the box score.
