Coaches Assessment: physical...one of our strongest players...incredibly high volleyball IQ...heavy arm...solid platform...one of our best passers and defenders

Coach Leja says: "Ashli is definitely one of our foundation players. Her high volleyball IQ and incredible skill-set as a passer and defender makes it hard to take her off the court. She really shined in the off season as a leader for our team, and I know we will rely heavily on Ashli again this season."
