Dordt Volleyball Coach Chad Hanson Says: "Ethan has a strong work ethic and is a phenomenal athlete in the ball control position.  His abilities to change direction and run down a volleyball in flight at the back of the gym are impressive.  He's solid in passing, defense, and serving and will provide great competitive depth for us in the ball control position.  Ethan also strives to live The Defender Way in all areas of his life as he grows in his relationship with Christ.  We are grateful for the training and development that he has received from coaches Mark Doornbos and Noah Doornbos."
