Ashway said. "This program has a lot of potential and I am looking forward to sharing my passion and knowledge of the game to help this team reach its goals." Ashway brings a wealth of pitching experience to 20th and Olney, where she will work with a solid group of Explorer hurlers. She led the Atlantic 10 last season with a scant 1.62 ERA en route to earning Pitcher of the Year honors, and set a new St. Joe's mark for wins with a 26-3 record. The NFCA All-Region First Team pick also led the Hawks to the regular season title and to the A-10 championship title game. She amassed 172 strikeouts to just 35 walks in regular season play. The Waynesboro, Pa., native graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice in May and will pursue a graduate degree at La Salle. Alma Mater:
