Truly one of the best players to ever play the game. More importantly, genuinely one of the best people to step on the court. Driven, kind, a phenomenal teammate. Women’s basketball is better because of Ashley Joens.
Ashley Joens may have built the most impressive legacy in Iowa State history. No one in this state will forget her. Ashley, we've been blessed to watch you play too.
