Ellis having continued success off the field

The cliché of winning on and off the field is as old as sports reporting, but Hayden Ellis exemplifies these qualities.

If one were to look up the Marshall University softball team, Ellis would be found listed on the roster. And upon clicking on Ellis’ name, one would find basic information about her: sophomore, 5 feet 6 inches tall, lives in Ashville, Ohio and went to Teays Valley High School, plays catcher. And upon looking a little farther, there will be found a record of Ellis’ achievements: appeared in 30 softball games, 2016 NFCA All-America Scholar Athlete, 2016 Conference USA Academic Medalist, 2016 Conference USA Commissioner’s Honor Roll.
