Sharnee Zoll-Norman (born July 11, 1986) is an American point guard that plays professional basketball throughout Europe and most recently with the Chicago Sky of the WNBA.
Sharnee was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Cheryl and Tony Zoll. She is the only child of Cheryl and shares her father with brother Chris and Dustin Myers. Cheryl is a retired veteran of the Armed Forces. Sharnee lived on McGuire A.F.B. for the majority of her life and also resided in Sembach, Germany while her mother was stationed there. Zoll attended Marlboro High School for 3 of her 4 high school years. She completed her final year at Highland Regional High School in Blackwood, New Jersey. Although she has mentioned her wife Serita Norman in previous interviews, she never formally came out until a June 2013 interview with the Windy City Times, stating "If I was straight, I wouldn't have to come out and say that I was straight. So I've never had an official coming-out, or something where I felt I had to announce that I was gay. But everyone knows. I wear my wedding ring proudly; I have matching tattoos with my wife, and also have her name tattooed on me. We go a lot of places [together] and I surely don't hide it [that she's my wife]."
Zoll played at the University of Virginia from 2004 to 2008, where she was a 1000-point scorer and two-time All-ACC third team honoree. She is most widely known for holding the Atlantic Coast Conference assist record with 785 assists; previously held by Dawn Staley, also a UVA alum. Sharnee is the only woman in ACC history to post three seasons of at least 200 assists and did so in succession from 2006 to 2008. In the summer of 2005, Zoll was named to the gold medal winning USA U19 World Championship Team.
