Zach and Devon Skeats were both signed by the Beauts after the NWHL held a free agent training camp in Toronto.[2] She made her Beauts debut on November 15, 2015 against the New York Riveters. Prior to the beginning of the season, Zach had been one of several Canadian-born rostered players that were ineligible to play due to delays with international visas.

Appearing in the inaugural Isobel Cup finals with the Beauts, Zach would score a goal in Game 2 against the Boston Pride. Scoring against goaltender Brittany Ott, said goal was also the first postseason goal in her NWHL career. Earning the assists were Megan Bozek and All-Star Game captain Emily Pfalzer.[3]

She was also selected by the Toronto Furies in the 2016 CWHL Draft.
