Athlete of the Week: Zoe Oasis ’17

As a dynamic forward for the Girls Varsity Soccer team, new Lower Zoe Oasis ’17 has been a nightmare for opposing defenses so far in the season. Against Middlesex, Oasis was an offensive machine, scoring twice and assisting in a third goal. Her exceptional performance led the team to a 4-1 victory and has helped Andover to a 2-0-1 start to the season. Her scoring prowess and leadership as a Lower has earned her _The Phillipian_’s Athlete of the Week.

Favorite way to celebrate a goal:

I like to hug my teammates. Kinsey [Yost ’15] will always come forward and hug you, and she’s always really happy.

Best soccer memory:

That’s a really good question. Probably last year — it was really great — playing on varsity as a [Junior].

Do you have a pump-up song?

Not really. Normally the girls just play the radio.

What’s the best goal you’ve ever scored?

Last year, I was on the top of the box, like 20 or 30 yards out, and I crossed it into the top left corner.

Nike or Adidas?

Nike.

What’s your favorite number?

Eight.

**Why?**

Because in the Barclay’s Premier League on Chelsea there’s a guy named Frank Lampard and he’s Number 8.

Do you have any role models?

Diego Costa.

**Why?**

He scores a lot of goals.

How is Andover different from your previous highshool’s team?

Everyone is so nice and really supportive, and the coaching is a lot better. The whole program is better quality.
