Meet Ella May

Ella May has quickly risen from a standout college setter to a professional star with a budding U.S. National Team career. Since 2023, she has competed in France’s top league, LNV Ligue A Féminine. Last season, she helped lead Neptunes de Nantes to a silver medal in the French Cup and a gold in the French Supercup. In 2024, Ella May made her U.S. Women’s National Team debut at the NORCECA Pan American Cup, earning a silver medal. This spring, she was named to the long list for the U.S. roster as the team prepares for the 2025 Volleyball Nations League. A native of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Ella May had a record-setting collegiate career at the University of Washington. She was a three-time AVCA All-American (2019, 2020, 2021), earning First-Team honors in 2020. She was named Pac-12 Setter of the Year in both 2020 and 2021 and earned AVCA All-Region Player of the Year in 2020. Ella also holds Washington’s program record for career service aces and helped lead the Huskies to their first NCAA semifinal appearance in eight years during the 2020 season.
