“We are incredibly proud to add Zoe, Lily and Miranda to the program,” Scott said. “Their playing resumes speak for themselves. Collectively, they are one of the best recruiting classes we have ever assembled. While we are proud of what Zoe, Lily and Miranda have accomplished in their junior careers, we are even more excited to see what they can do as Virginia Cavaliers.”

She has earned the confidence she has found in big events, and against top opponents. Her very best golf is still ahead of her.”
