In the 22 year history of the women’s soccer program at Everett Community College, Brianna Ellis is one of the best forwards to ever put on a Trojan uniform and will be the first women’s soccer player inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame. Brianna was recruited out of girls soccer powerhouse Jackson High School, a program that went to 8 consecutive 4A state tournaments from 2004-2011. She was a member of head coach Geoff Kittle’s first full recruiting class and led the Trojans to their first ever north region championship and subsequently the first ever playoff game in the 2010 season. She led the team in both goals scored (11), and assists (7) that season and was named the North Region Most Valuable Player, once again a first for the program.
Brianna and the program built on the previous year’s successes and rolled to a 12-5-2 regular season record and captured a second straight north region title in 2011. The Trojans took home the program's first ever playoff win with a 2-1 victory over Lane in the quarter finals. Brianna was credited with the assist in the 56th minute which would turn out to be the game winning goal. Once again Brianna led the Trojans that season with 11 goals scored and 13 assists, which currently ranks as the 2nd highest assist total in a single season at EvCC. Though well deserving, she did not repeat as North Region MVP. She was however named all region and selected for the NWAC All-Star game.
Her 22 career goals ranks 3rd all time at EvCC and her career assist total of 20 is tied for 2nd most all time at EvCC. After Everett, Brianna elected to stay local and played two seasons at Trinity Lutheran College, earning her degree in Business Administration in 2014. Brianna currently resides in Snohomish and works at Boeing as an operations member of the airplane level integration team.
