UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State senior Zoe Weatherington was drafted by the San Diego Mojo in the fifth round of the inaugural Pro Volleyball Federation Draft on Monday.

She stepped up in postseason play with double-digit kills in matches against No. 15 Kansas and No. 3 Wisconsin.
Weatherington finished her career with 1,093 kills, 297 blocks, and 209 digs. Her 1,000th career kill came this season in front of a sold-out Rec Hall crowd against No. 1 Nebraska.
