Van Zile, who will play collegiately at UW-Oshkosh, earned Great Northern Conference co-player of the year honors with teammate Cynthia Beavers, and was also named all-state by both the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association and the Associated Press. She and Beavers are both scheduled to represent the Hodags at the WBCA All-Star Game in Wisconsin Dells Aug. 5.
