Ashley on Maine: “I chose Maine becausethe second I stepped on campus I felt like I was at home and UMainewas a place I could live for the next four years of my life. It was the best fit for me academically and athletically. There was no doubt in my mind; UMaine was where I wanted and neededto be”. “What excites me about becoming a BlackBear is that fact that I will be challenged both academically andathletically and I will still feel comfortable.  I am excitedto take the next big step in my life at UMaine”.

Coach Atherley on Ashley: Ashley comes to usfrom one of the best club teams in the country.  Herexperiences over the last few years with the Scorpions will go farin helping her transition to college soccer.  She istechnically strong and will give us an attacking presence out ofthe back.  As a defender, she is great in 1 v 1 situations andon the ball she is quick and calm.
