There’s no question that Ella Zieske Ella Zieske 5'11" | OH/DS/L Chanhassen | 2028 State MN has been the offensive engine for her squad this season. With 377 kills and counting, she’s commanding the left pin with veteran-like poise. What stands out most is her ability to score in rhythm—whether she’s facing a double block, attacking high off hands, or threading the seam, Zieske finds a way to produce. Her approach mechanics are clean, with explosive first-step speed and a fluid arm swing that generates serious torque. She’s also developed strong court awareness, adjusting to block placement and using her vision to exploit soft spots in the back row. Zieske’s all-around play extends beyond her offense; her back-row defense and serve receive have shown steady improvement, allowing her to stay terminal without sacrificing control. She’s a legitimate six-rotation weapon and one of the most complete outsides in the Metro West right now. ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas
