Nikki Ellul #9
Position: Outside Hitter
Height: 5-9
Class: Fr.
Hometown: Dearborn Heights, Mich. (Divine Child HS)

High School:
A four-year letterwinner for Divine Child and a four-time All-City performer ... was named All-League and All-Catholic as a sophomore, junior and senior ... was also honored as a MIVCA Academic All-Region selection .... was also named her team’s Most Valuable Player as a sophomore, junior and senior.

Quoting Coach Abraham:
“Nicole comes to us with some quality high school and club experience. A quiet but intense performer who simply loves to compete. We'll look for her to bring to the floor a poised, consistent style of play. She has the ability to compete for one of the vacated outside hitting positions. For Nicole, how fast she adapts to our style of play will determine her ability to break into the lineup. I like her potential as a hitter. Her arm is very fast and her jump is very good. She has the ability to mix up and terminate the attack, something we'll be looking for in our starting outsides. Look for her to contribute in a variety of ways in her initial season as a Crusader.
Certainly a welcomed addition to our volleyball family.”

Why I Chose Madonna:
“I chose Madonna for two main reasons. First it has a wonderful academic reputation and an academic philosophy which adheres to my philosophy and second, the opportunity to continue my volleyball career in such a competitive and successful program. The family atmosphere within the volleyball team is very appealing to me. Can't wait to meet some new friends and teammates at Madonna. I realize it will be lots of work but I am ready for my new and exciting challenge.”
