(Tempe, AZ) On Wednesday morning, Sun Devil Lacrosse Head Coach Taryn VanThof announced the addition of Zoe Mazur to the team’s coaching staff. Mazur, a four-year Sun Devil, is no stranger to the program after graduating from Arizona State in May following her record-breaking senior season in the spring.
She praised the opportunity to coach for her alma mater, “This feels like everything is coming full circle—it’s an honor to give back to the program that gave so much to me.”
Mazur posted a standout senior season in 2024 breaking various program and Pac-12 records as a draw specialist and defender. Her accolades include 167 draw controls in a single season, 330 career draw controls, and a career-high 19 draw controls in a single game; all program and Pac-12 records.
These stats are not to be outdone by the fact that Mazur was a two-time Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, named to the Pac-12 All-Tournament Team, and was the only Pac-12 All-Conference First Team honoree for the Sun Devils in 2024.
VanThof, excited to bring Mazur aboard as her second student-athlete-turned-coach said, “As a student-athlete she was an elite competitor who rewrote record books. As a coach she will have an immediate impact on our Draw Control Unit, taking them to new heights!”
