Bowen is a versatile attacker who can make an impact from just about anywhere across the front row. Whether she is attacking from the right, left, or out of the middle, she is comfortable in all three spots and has the ability to terminate from each. She has a strong, consistent approach, transitions quickly off the net, and does a good job getting herself available for the next swing. That versatility makes her a valuable weapon and a player who can be used in a variety of ways. Bowen is a young player on the rise and she is definitely someone we want to keep tabs on as she continues to develop her skills and game.

Ellie Bownen establishes a presence at the net. She closes blocks with purpose, presses over, and takes away space from opposing hitters. Offensively, she is quick in transition and stays available for first tempo, forcing the middle to stay engaged. Her energy shows up every rally, and she impacts both sides of the ball. ~Theresa@prepdigdakotas

Why invite now: She is a middle who changes the match with her blocking and tempo.
