Chesterfield, Va. - Recently, Matoaca's Allyssa Zebrowski signed to head to southwest Virginia and become part of the University of Virginia's College at Wise softball team. 

She will join the highly-successful Highland Cavalier program this fall. In the last five years, UVa-Wise has won at least 29 games in each of those seasons including a 31-18 mark in 2009 to go with three trips to the NAIA National Championship. The Cavs also captured five Appalachian Athletic Conference crowns in the last six seasons including the 2009 title.

The future Highland Cavalier will come to the college campus in the fall after what will be a decorated scholastic career with the Matoaca Lady Warriors. The middle infielder earned All-Central District first team acclaim in each of the last three seasons. She posted a .333 average, .433 slugging percentage and 10 stolen bases last spring.

Zebrowski also plays for the highly competitive Virginia Rowdies Elite travel team where she manned second base and outfield. 

"Allyssa is a versatile player and a leader," said UVa-Wise head coach Tori Raby-Gentry. "She has good speed and is smart on the bases.  She will be a great fit for the program and institution. She understands the importance of hard work both on the field and in the classroom."

Zebrowski carries a 4.2 GPA and plans to major in biology or environmental science at UVa-Wise.
