HARRISONBURG, Va. – James Madison head coach Sean O'Regan has promoted Ashley Langford to the role of Associate Head Coach, announced on Friday morning.
Â
"Coach Langford has been a big part of our success," O'Regan said. "She's had her hands in a lot of different areas and this promotion is well deserved. She will continue to be an asset for our program moving forward."
Â
Langford enters her fourth year with the Dukes after serving the past three years as an assistant coach. Over her time here, she has helped the Dukes to a 77-21 (.786) overall record with a dominant 49-5 (.907) conference record including three consecutive Colonial Athletic Association regular-season championships.
Â
Primarily working with the guards Langford assisted with the outbreak of freshman Kiki Jefferson who was named CAA Rookie of the Year on nine occasions which is the second-most in CAA history. At the conclusion of the season three of her guards earned all-conference honors in senior Kamiah Smalls (CAA Player of the Year, First Team), senior Jackie Benitez (Second Team) and Jefferson (Rookie of the Year, All-Rookie Team).
Â
"I am humbled and excited for this new role," Langford said. "To Coach O'Regan and the JMU administration, thank you for believing in me. You cultivated the environment that supported my growth. I look forward to empowering our women and continuing our success on and off the court."
