MILLER PHILLIPS ON CONWAY: Zoe has a great touch on the ball and is confident handling the ball in pressure situations. She's not afraid to throw her body around and do whatever it takes to keep the ball off the floor. She serves a tough floater that causes opponents havoc. She is always communicating and bringing energy to her teammates and pushing others around her to be their best. I love her enthusiasm and positive attitude and am excited to add her to our team!

WHY BALL STATE: I chose Ball State because it had everything I was looking for in a school. The team and coaches made me feel like I was at home right away. It is close to my family and gives me the opportunity to pursue a degree while being surrounded by people who genuinely care about me. The coaching staff was so welcoming, it made my decision very easy!
