CRESTON, Iowa — Southwestern Community College women's basketball has added a dynamic multi-sport athlete to its future backcourt, as Zoey Reed has signed her National Letter of Intent to join the Spartans for the 2026–27 season, head coach Kori Zarzutzki announced.

Reed, a 5-foot-9 guard from Lenox High School, graduated in 2025 and will arrive in Creston after a year away from sports. Known for her competitiveness, versatility, and leadership, she brings a well-rounded skill set shaped by extensive multi-sport experience.

As a senior, Reed averaged 14.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 2.5 steals per game, earning all-conference honors in all four seasons of high school basketball. She was named Lenox Athlete of the Year (2024–25), selected to the All-KMA Senior Team, and earned Iowa Basketball Coaches Association All-Region (Region 6) recognition twice, along with Class 1A all-district honors.

Beyond the hardwood, Reed was active in five sports throughout her high school career, competing in basketball, softball, track, and dance. She qualified for the Iowa state track meet three times and earned all-academic recognition across multiple sports.

Reed also distinguished herself in the classroom, graduating with honors, earning National Honor Society induction, and receiving All-Academic All-Conference recognition. She served as a team captain, further highlighting her leadership qualities.

Reed said Southwestern's environment and people played a major role in her decision.

"I enjoyed the small campus, coaches, and met a couple of very welcoming teammates," Reed said. "I'm excited to continue my basketball career and further my education at Southwestern."

Zarzutzki sees Reed as a guard who can impact games in multiple ways.

"We are beyond excited about Zoey signing with us," Zarzutzki said. "She comes from a great family and we see her fitting in well. She will be a positive difference maker for us right away. She's tough, athletic, can help us handle the ball, and defensively she can cause chaos. We can't wait to have her on the court."

Reed will compete for the Spartan women's basketball program beginning in the 2026–27 season as Southwestern continues to build depth and athleticism within the ICCAC and NJCAA.
