As a high school senior, Ziebell helped lead Neenah to a WIAA Division 1 runner-up finish in 2024.
She was named a McDonald's High School All-American, becoming the first girls player from the Fox Valley to earn the prestigious honor.
KK Arnold, a Germantown native and the 2023 Wisconsin Ms. Basketball winner, was also on UConn's championship team. Arnold had nine points and three assists in the title game.
Congratulations to KK Arnold (Germantown '23) and Allie Ziebell (Neenah '24), former WIAA Student-Athletes, now NCAA National Champions! 🥳🏀🏆 #wiaagb #WisconsinProud https://t.co/4oLu2mlqFE
