PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania's John R. Rockwell Head Coach of Men's Basketball, Steve Donahue, has announced the addition of Michael Zanoni as a transfer into the program. Zanoni spent the last two years at Mercer University in Macon, Ga.
 
"I am excited to have Michael join our program," said Donahue. "Given his experience at this level, he brings a maturity that will immediately benefit our program. His style of play obviously fits well into what we're trying to do, so I expect that he will come in and have an immediate impact in the lineup."
