Quoting Coach Abraham:
“Ashley will once again play an integral role for us this fall as our starting setter and court general. A big time game player who will be counted on to provide much of the leadership, as one of our four senior athletes. Coming off a tremendous junior season, she has elevated her game to a much higher all around skill level. What I like most about her is her intense, competitive style and her ability to make others around her better. Ash is the ultimate team player and a dedicated athlete who always seems to play her best in tough game situations. As the quarterback of our team, she will again be asked to run the floor and orchestrate a fine tuned offensive system. Her determined attitude on the court, her skill at her position, along with her leadership abilities, ranks her at the top, as one of the best setters in the country. A true court general, a smart student of the game and a player we will be counting on very heavily in the new season ahead. She is the wheel that will make us turn this fall.”
