Ellis played an important role in helping USA to a 1-1 record last week in league play, averaging a double-double (11.5 ppg, 10.0 rpg) in two outings while knocking down 43.5 percent of her shot attempts and recording seven blocks.  Ellis began the week by recording her third double-double of the season with 16 points and 11 rebounds at Louisiana-Lafayette as the 6-2 sophomore was 7-of-11 from the field and with her two blocks she moved into second place on the Jaguars' sophomore blocks list. On Saturday, Ellis had seven points, nine rebounds and five blocks to help USA earn a victory at Louisiana-Monroe.
