Dean College Freshman Forward Off to a Steady Start in 2025-26
As a 5'10" freshman forward for the Dean College Bulldogs in the 2025-26 season, Alana Zirlis has played in 7 games, averaging 10.9 minutes and 0.7 rebounds per game—modest stats reflecting her adjustment to college ball after captaining Morgan High School's varsity squad (Class of 2025). Her high school grit shone in tough games like the 2025 CIAC playoffs, where she logged starts despite scoreless outings, showcasing leadership and tenacity. A multi-sport athlete (lacrosse too), Zirlis brings hustle, basketball IQ from years in travel and rec leagues since first grade, and untapped upside—perfect for teams seeking a versatile, high-energy role player ready to grow.
