Why Purdue?
"Purdue's team culture attracted me because each player strives to be their best every day while also supporting each other at the same time. I want to be in a competitive environment where I'm growing as a person and player, while also building lifelong friendships."
Coach Roff's Thoughts
"Ashley is an attacking player that plays out wide and is excellent in one-on-one situations. She is a very good athlete that is able to use her pace and technical ability to stretch defenses and create scoring opportunities. She also has a great work rate, and covers a lot of ground, which will be a great addition to our pressing style defensively as well. Ashley's talent, competitive fire, and leadership ability helped bring the Indiana State Championship to Carmel High School this past fall, and we look forward to her bringing those great qualities to our program for the next four years."
