Cassie Ellegood

Coach’s Comments: "Cassie has great athleticism and timing that allows her to play strong at the net with her attacking and blocking abilities. She has great court awareness, court vision, the ability to play both middle and outside positions, and her ability to play strong at the net on offense and defense. Her ability to run a variety of sets with speed and power while also putting up a strong block, were invaluable to us in 2025. Her strong serve also made an impact on the season that put pressure on our opponents and allowed us to make great runs during the season. She has worked to enhance all of these skills and we look for her to showcase those skills for a successful 2026 season."
