Ashley Herndon
- Title:
- Volunteer Assistant Coach
Ashley Herndon returned to her alma mater as a volunteer assistant coach prior to the 2020-21 spring season.
Herndon comes back to JMU as one of the most successful players in program history, having started every game of her career on her way to four straight All-CAA selections and the 2016 CAA Player of the Year award. After finishing her career in 2016, she still ranks fourth in program history in career goals (37) and points (101) and holds program records for game-winning goals in a season (8) and consecutive games with at least one point (9).
"Joining the JMU women's soccer staff is very special to me," Herndon said. "Ever since graduating, I have wanted to come back and be part of this program. I am only a couple weeks in and I have already learned so much about what happens behind the scenes and on the coaching side to build a successful program. I am enjoying it so much already and it feels great to be back at JMU!"
"Any program would be lucky to have a coach join their ranks with the professional playing background that Ashley brings, but what makes this so special is that she is one of the most decorated JMU Dukes in program history," Walters said. "I am honored that Ashley would choose to come back to join the staff at the end of her professional playing career. With her high level experience, I expect Ashley will catch on quickly to college coaching and help advance our player development. She will impact our players immediately, as she has already walked in the pathway that so many of them dream to follow."
