These two college athletes met for the first time at Fellowship for Christian Athletes at Winona State University. Courtney was hesitant about dating a football player but decided to give Zach a chance. After a few months of Zach proving her wrong, they got to know each other more with endless dates to the library, church and Culver's. Zach finally decided to ask Courtney to be his girlfriend after passing the parent test. They connected over ice cream, love for Jesus, and being goofy together.
