Coach’s Comments: “Ellie is very versatile on the field. She has an aggressive burst and sells out on every play. She is very quick and covers a lot of ground.”

“Her primary positions are catcher, center field and second, but can play pretty much anywhere needed.  Ellie is our lead-off hitter and hits for average and power.”

“Her power to the gaps on a consistent basis leads to many game starting doubles.”
