What Coach Tsip has to say:   
"The Catamount women's basketball family is elated to welcome Ellie and her family. Ellie is an elite, left-handed point guard who can score, as well as put her teammates in position to succeed. She has a high basketball IQ and will help us play with the high pace we desire. She is a winner in both high school and AAU and comes from a great basketball family.  She was named 1st team all state as a senior in Indiana and was the leading scorer in both the HBCA and the Hoosier Gym All-Star Classic this Spring."
