Siena Ebert Siena Ebert 5'10" | DS/L The Hockaday | 2027 State #91 Nation TX , a defensive dawg for TAV 17 Black Jon. There is no denying her efforts to keep the defense running on all dylinders every game. She works hard to cover her hitters, make the right reads, and pass a clean ball to start a good play. Siena is comfortable on the court and confident in her reads, leaving little room for hesitation in her game. She can pass, she can serve, and she can make the big plays! It’s going to be a hard time to get past her and TAV this week with her leadership in the backcourt.

Siena Ebert, a fearless Ds/L for TAV 17 Black Jon. No matter what the play needs, she is going to make it happen. She is quick and reactive on her feet, pushing to the ball every time it is in play. She is disciplined in coverage and transition, as anyone would want in a defender. Siena reads the play first and is intentional with her move to and through the ball, she makes the impossible plays happen for her team. Going into nationals this is the kind of aggressive and determined play that is necessary to stay ahead of opponents.

Ebert and the TAV 17 Black Jon team will be in contention in the 17 Open Division. She stands at 5’11” and uses her unusual length for a libero to her advantage, but moves as a much smaller player on the back row, getting the best of both worlds. Ebert’s TAV team has a potent and dynamic offense, and she’s a big part of it by using her outstanding ball control to keep them in system. An aggressive server, she also gets the job done when asked to set in transition, showing great attention to detail in her effort to give her hitters the best possible chance to score.

Highlights

Siene Ebert, Libero for TAV controls the back court for her team. In a game full of fast tempos, coaches want defenders that not only keep up, but thrive in the fast play, and Siena does that. Her ability to stay composed and read the ball consistently throughout a game is impressive. She passes with precision and intent, leaving her team’s confidence high in finishing a play. Her energy and hustle follow her to the serving line where she continues her leadership from behind the net.

There are very many reasons why we have Miss Ebert ranked as the second best libero in her grad class.  She brings a calm, controlled presence to the back row in the class of 2027, consistently impacting play through discipline and reliability in regards to ball control. At 5’10”, she offers uncommon size for the libero role, allowing her to cover more court and take away angles with ease. Ebert’s serve-receive is a strength, where her balanced platform and clean footwork lead to consistent first contact against aggressive servers. She reads the game well defensively, positioning herself early and making plays look routine through strong anticipation. Her length helps her extend for balls outside her frame, turning potential points into transition opportunities. Ebert communicates effectively and brings a steady leadership presence to the floor. She continues to grow more assertive in demanding responsibility in key rotations.  There is no doubt in my mind that Siena will be a complete game changer for Princeton when she steps on their campus in a few years. 

Ebert is the libero of the TAV 16 Black Paul team that will appear in the 16 Open division. She joined TAV this season, coming from Madfrog , and immediately made their defensive system stronger with her excellent play. Ebert is a tall libero, who covers more area than most players in the position and gets to ball not many others would, and she’s also extremely effective with her actions. Ebert is clearly a very technical player but two things that positively impact her plays on the backcourt are her calm and confidence on the ball. She also does a great job of setting in transition and is very disciplined to keep her spot when covering her hitters.
