What Ellie lacks in height, she more than makes up for with effort and hustle. She seems to be the first player down the floor in transition on both ends and somehow always finds a way to be involved in the play.

She’s the player who comes flying in from behind for a deflection, dives for the loose ball, or sneaks in for the extra possession. Her motor never shuts off, and that relentless energy allows her to create opportunities not only for herself but for her teammates as well. Ellie is the kind of player who changes games through effort, pace, and a willingness to do all the little things that don’t always show up in the box score.
