About Ellie
Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Dig Scout
Dowling Catholic graduated one of the state’s top right-side hitters from its 2025 lineup. Brunkhorst showed during late March’s USAV Iowa Regional Tournament in West Des Moines that she’s a candidate to step into a varsity role this coming fall. The lefty-swinging opposite pin is athletic and explosive on the court. She can rise up into the air and hang before bringing down the hammer on the attack. Brunkhorst does well in reading the block and the opponent’s back-row alignment, leading success in putting the ball down. When in rhythm, she can hit line and across the court with equal precision. Tall with long arms, Brunkhorst has the natural gifts necessary for achieving resistance with the block. She combines them with timing and a solid feel for the opposition’s intent. Brunkhorst is one to watch moving forward this club season and in the fall.
