ZOE MORSE
Senior women’s soccer captain Zoe Morse is majoring in global public health and minoring in environmental science.

Our athletics department is really trying to help you be well-rounded – a good person, a successful student and a successful athlete. I’ve had a great experience here and I’m proud to be a Cavalier!”
