We challenged the team. Defensively, we didn't let them penetrate and we contested their shots. Offensively, we adjusted to their box-and-one on Crystal (Howard). We wanted to show we had other scorers. Our team responded.

Missouri Southern is a good fit for Ashley. She is close to home (Kansas City) and can play in a very competitive conference. Ashley has grown tremendously this year as a player and also as a person. Ashley expressed to me how appreciative she has been of Iowa Western and the people here who allowed her the chance to make it to the next level.
