Ellie Ortega Commits to Women's Volleyball & Basketball!
Ellie Ortega joins Women's Volleyball and basketball for the upcoming 2025-26 season! Ellie is from Fairmont, Minnesota, where she attended Fairmont High School. Standing at 5'7 Ellie plays forward and post in basketball, and outside hitter in volleyball. Ellie's length and versatility will be a great addition to both basketball and volleyball.
When asked why she chose to attend Trinity Ellie stated: "I really felt like God was calling me to Trinity". Trinity Bible College is an institution that wants students like Ellie to be able to grow and develop their faith, while also being able to compete in sports. Trinity is an institution for students to grow in their faith, get an education, and compete at a high level as athletes. We are excited to add Ellie. She fits our culture on campus perfectly!
In the words of Head Volleyball Coach Quincy Wilson: "I was thrilled when I heard Ellie was interested in coming to Trinity. She's an incredible fit for both the school and our volleyball program. Ellie is a dynamic offensive threat—she hits with both power and precision, making her a tough matchup for any defense. Beyond her athletic ability, she brings great energy, a strong work ethic, and a competitive mindset that will elevate the level of play in our gym. We're excited to welcome her to the Trinity volleyball family.
We also spoke with women's basketball head Coach Rachael Nowell. Coach Nowell Stated: "Our basketball coaching staff is more than thrilled that Ellie has chosen Trinity to continue her athletic and academic career! She is a solid all-around player that gets rebounds, plays tough defense, hits the open three and cleans up around the hoop! I loved seeing highlights of her getting steals and connecting with her teammates for assists. Ellie will be an amazing addition to our women's basketball program and our Trinity campus! I look forward to seeing her game live this Fall!
Welcome to the Trinity family, Ellie! We are excited to see you on the court and on campus this fall!
