Ginipro's Comments: “When you get to bring in a player who was Freshman of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and an Honorable Mention All-American, it's just a great day. We got to recruit Ashton twice and I'm glad we are finally getting her in a black & gold jersey. She has the potential to be an impact player for us immediately and I'm ecstatic that she will be a Mountaineer.
