Stephanie Zielinksi Sr.- St. Thomas Aquinas. Her career began long before she actually picked up a volleyball.
That's what happens when your mom is one of South Florida's most prominent coaches.
You spend your afternoons doing homework in the bleachers while her team practices. You get to talk strategy with some of her best players. And finally, you get your own chance to shine.
By Zielinski's freshman year, she earned a spot on the St. Thomas Aquinas team coached by her mother, Lisa. That's when the fun really started.
"I always wanted to play," Stephanie Zielinski said. "I played basketball and ran track before, but volleyball was what I always wanted to do."
And she does it well.
Through the course of her career, she went from a relatively quiet setter to a dominant leader. Twice she helped take the Raiders to the Class 5A state tournament. She garnered attention from college coaches before signing with Rutgers this fall.
We wish her the very best and will follow her carrer at Rutgers.
