Noteboom currently averages seven points has 83 rebounds, 45 assists, 32 steals, and shoots 73% from the free throw line for the third ranked Knights who finished the regular season as conference champions. In 2105 Noteboom was part of a Unity Christian team that finished with a perfect 27-0 record, en route to winning the Iowa Class 2A State Championship. As a junior, she was named all-conference honorable mention, and was named player of the game during the state tournament. The three-year varsity player was also named honorable mention as a sophomore. In 2014 Unity finished as the class 3A state runner-up.

In soccer, Noteboom anchors Unity Christians backfield as a defender. She was named first team all-conference as a sophomore and followed that up with an honorable mention honor as a junior. She is also a three year varsity volleyball player, being named all-conference honorable mention as a junior and senior.

“Deidra is a work horse. You know when she gets onto the floor or field she will give the team everything she has. She is strong, plays with a lot of heart, and leads her team well. We are excited to see her develop on the basketball court and the soccer field. We feel that she will be a great asset to both programs and the overall campus at Dordt. Both Coach Elgersma and I believe she will thrive here at Dordt,” said head women’s basketball coach Katie DeWitt-Severson.
