2007-08 Preseason All-SLC Second Team
Coach Graf on Ashli: "Ashli was an immediate impact for our program last year as a junior college transfer. We planned on using Ashli as a post and a power forward but with the injury to (Courtney) Shead last season. Ashli was limited to only the post position. With new freshman post and the health of Shead, Ashli will be used both at the low post and high post. She has developed solid post moves through the year and has worked on her 15-foot game. Ashli brings us great size as a 4 and will be utilized in both positions."
