BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana water polo head coach Taylor McInerney has announced program alum Zoe Crouch has been added to her staff as an assistant coach.
"I am thrilled to add Zoe to our coaching staff," McInerney said. "She was an exemplary student athlete and will continue to elevate our program in a new role. Athletic accomplishments aside, Zoe has been a leader for this program and always put the team ahead of herself. Her ability to elevate those around her, love of IU and commitment to growth make her the perfect fit for our staff."
Crouch most recently wrapped up a five-year playing career with the Hoosiers (2020-24) where she was a three-time ACWPCA All-American who finished ninth in all-time scoring with 183 goals scored. The Moraga, Calif. native played in 137 career games where she also tallied up 156 assists, 338 total points, 98 steals and 34 field blocks.
"I am super excited to have the opportunity to still be a part of this special program," Crouch said. "The last five seasons as a player were extremely memorable and filled with some great accomplishments. I'm excited to join the team on the other side of things and help continue to grow this program into the powerhouse I know it's capable of becoming."
In her final season in 2024, Crouch recorded one helping the Hoosiers to its most wins since 2018 (21) where she had 53 goals, 35 assists, 37 steals and 18 drawn exclusions. Crouch posted 11 hat tricks and had 16 multi-goal games.
She also excelled in the classroom where she was a five-time ACWPC All-Academic selection, four-time MPSF All-Academic Team and All-Big Ten Academic honoree and earned her bachelor's degree in sport marketing and management in May 2024.
