COACH VAN DE KERKHOF SAYS
"Ashley has been enjoying field hockey at West Essex HS and New Heights FHC where she developed into a ‘go-to’ player for her teams. She displays a desire to compete, understanding of working hard and brings her experience to compete for and win championships. We are looking forward to welcoming her fight mentality and positive outlook within UDFH.”
WHY DELAWARE?
"I fell in love with Delaware and its atmosphere as soon as I stepped foot on campus. Delaware has a great academic and athletic reputation, where student-athletes have access to many great resources that allow them to balance school and sports. What also caught my eye is its successful physical therapy program, which is a field I have taken interest in. I can’t wait to be a part of the field hockey and Blue Hen family!"
