Ella Zierott adds backcourt depth and upside for Briar Cliff
Ella Zierott is listed on Briar Cliff’s 2025-26 women’s basketball roster as a 5-foot-6 sophomore guard from Murdock, Nebraska, and her appeal starts with fit: she chose BCU for the nursing program and to play at a high level. She looks like a steady, team-first backcourt piece rather than a stat-chasing headline grabber, which can be a real plus if you need energy, discipline, and someone who buys into the locker room culture. In short: a developmental guard with clear academic and program buy-in, and that’s the kind of glue coach-favorite teams are built on.
