Signing Zeinstra
"Lily is an extremely versatile guard who can facilitate for others and score the basketball," Parksinson said. "I've seen her hit seven-plus threes in a game, and I've also seen her get four or more and-1's in a game. She also loves to get after it defensively."
 
Why Zeinstra Chose Butler: I chose Butler because of the close-knit community. The women's basketball coaching staff have done an amazing job communicating with me and have made my choice to play at Butler so easy. I really feel in love with Butler's campus and the wide variety of majors they offer.
