VALLEY CITY, N.D. (VCSU-CSi) – Valley City State University women’s basketball coach Jill DeVries has announced the signing of Zoie Breckheimer for the 2017-18 season.
Currently a senior on the Finley-Sharon/Hope Page (N.D.) basketball team, Breckheimer recently signed a letter of intent to continue her basketball career while attending Valley City State University.
DeVries says, “We are excited to have Zoie join the Viking family. She continues to improve each time out and her work ethic and passion for competing at a high level will help her find success at VCSU.”
Breckheimer is no stranger to VCSU after playing annually in the Barnes County Girls Basketball Tournament at VCSU and earning All Tournament Team honors the last three seasons. Breckheimer is a three-year starter for the Spartans and was named to the Maple River All Conference team last season.
Through eight games this season Breckheimer is shooting 46 percent from the field while averaging 12.6 points, 5.1 assists and 4.1 steals per game. She averaged just under 11 points per game during her sophomore and junior seasons.
FSHP head coach Laura Ihry, adds, “Zoie has been a three-year starter for us and also played quite a bit during her freshman year. She has a great work ethic and puts in the time in the offseason to be a better player.”
Zoie is the daughter of Tricia and Tom Breckheimer. Tricia also played basketball at VCSU.
Breckheimer joins Maddie Fenske (6-foot forward – Cottonwood, Minn.) as signed recruits for the 2017-18 season. The VCSU women’s basketball team is currently 13-3 during the 2016-17 season.
Valley City State University’s athletic teams compete as a member of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and a conference member of the North Star Athletic Association.
