Ella Jarrett delivered a statement performance at the 2026 ACAC Women’s Volleyball Championships, emerging as a dominant force for the Augustana Vikings on their run to the national stage.

Stepping into the semifinal matchup against the Briercrest Clippers, Jarrett made an immediate impact. The outside hitter recorded 15 kills, providing a crucial offensive spark and shifting the momentum in favour of the Vikings at key moments. Her performance helped secure a decisive victory and clinch a berth at the CCAA Women's Volleyball National Championship.

Jarrett carried that momentum into the championship final against the Lakeland Rustlers. In the gold medal match, she posted an impressive .400 hitting percentage while adding 12 kills, once again proving to be one of the most efficient and impactful players on the court. Her ability to rise in high-pressure situations underscored her value to the Vikings throughout the tournament.

With their ticket to nationals secured, the Vikings now set their sights on Manitoba, where they will compete against the top programs in the country. If her championship weekend performance is any indication, Jarrett will continue to be a key force as Augustana looks to make its mark on the national stage.
