QUOTES FROM COACH CLARK
“Zoey has always brought calmness and poise to the team when she is on the field,” FAU head coach Jordan Clark said. “But this weekend, every time I looked, Zoey was up to bat in the key situations. We moved her to the cleanup spot anticipating her coming up big for the team, and she did just that. She was on fire this weekend, and I couldn’t be prouder for Zoey and the program.”
