Most Valuable Teammate Week 1

Ella was diagnosed with a shoulder injury during the summer that required her to have a season-ending surgery. She has never complained about missing her senior season. She is always the first person off the bench when something great happens, shouting and jumping around, just as excited as if she was wearing a jersey. Her positivity radiates across the bench and in our huddles.
