Coach’s Comments: “Recognized
as one of the nations best setters, the fall of 2004 provides
many new challenges for this gifted Crusader. Has all the
ability, confidence and skill to take her entire game to an even
higher level. Can deliver the ball anywhere on the floor. She
will be asked once again, to be the core of the entire offense
by directing a smooth, well-run offensive machine. Maintains
excellent foot speed, quickness and deception with the ability
to attack from her setting position. Has a very competitive
style of play with the ability to make others better around her.
A true leader on the court who performs best in pressure
situations. The element I like most about Ashley is her
never-ending commitment to improve her game. She is
unselfishness as a player and leads by example, a quality every
setter and floor general must have. Crusader fans have come to
expect great performers at the setter position, year in and year
out. Expect another banner season out of this junior standout.".
