Ellie Sievers Ellie Sievers 5'6" | CG Newell-Fonda | 2028 State IA was a force to be reckoned with tonight. The sophomore guard scored at an efficient rate (11-20), was a monster on the boards (finishing the game with 13), and showed her ability to score both in the paint and behind the arc. I loved Ellie’s aggressiveness from the jump. Don’t let her size fool you — she’s a freight train with the ball in her hand and knows how to finish the rock. Aside from sprinting ahead for kick-ahead finishes, Sievers’ game featured a blow by for a floater, a polished finish off of two feet, and solid footwork on her step-through. If her looks at the rim weren’t enough to impress you, she also drained two big three pointers in the second half. I really enjoyed watching Ellie play tonight and thought her energy was a catalyst for the #1-ranked Mustangs.
