Dickinson's Ethan Zohn Teaneck,
N.J. – Fairleigh Dickinson University men’s and women’s
assistant soccer coach, Ethan Zohn, has been selected as one of 16
participants to compete in the popular primetime CBS show, Survivor, airing this
fall. All
16 cast members will be introduced on “Countdown to Africa,” on Thursday,
October 4, at 8:00 p.m. The
premiere of “Survivor Africa,” once again hosted by Jeff Probst, will
air on Thursday, October 11, at 8:00 p.m. Zohn and
the other 15 cast members spent 39 days stranded in the Shaba National Reserve,
Kenya. There the members, divided
into two tribes, were required to join together, forge alliances, develop and
live in a cooperative society, all while taking part in “challenges” for
rewards. Winners of the Challenges
were rewarded, while over the course of the 39-day expedition, others were voted
off the Reserve until one winner remained, and captured the ultimate prize of
$1,000,000. Viewers will find out
how far Zohn made it by watching on Thursday nights.
The season finale will be on January 10. Zohn has
served as an assistant men’s coach at Fairleigh Dickinson since 1998, helping
the Knights to the Northeast Conference (NEC) regular season and tournament
titles in 2000, along with an NCAA play-in appearance.
Zohn has also been an assistant coach for the Knights’ women’s
soccer program since its addition in 2000. The Lexington,
Massachusetts native currently resides in New York City.
He is a 1996 graduate of Vassar College with a bachelor of arts degree in
biology. Zohn has also
played professional soccer as a goalkeeper for the Highlanders Football Club in
Zimbabwe, the Cape Cod Crusaders and the Hawaii Tsunami.
In 1997 and 2001, he was a member of the U.S. National Maccabiah Team. When Zohn
isn’t on the bench for the Knights or in net for a professional team, Zohn
is an aspiring inventor who has done freelance work since 1999 as a brand name
strategist/developer, responsible for creating names for newly invented
products. The 27-year old is a
vegetarian who has two brothers, Lenard and Lee. Viewers can tune in to Survivor Africa and follow Ethan Zohn and the other survivors all fall season on CBS.
