Wayne State’s veteran glue guard: Ashley Bower brings poise, academics, and toughness
Ashley Bower enters the 2025-26 season as a senior guard for Wayne State (MI), valued for her combo-guard size, leadership, and two-way reliability after returning from an injury that cost her more than two seasons. In her early college run, she averaged over 9 points and 3 assists in her first seven games, and her high-school résumé included big-game scoring and playmaking in the state tournament. She’s also a 3.98 nursing student and perennial academic honoree, which screams discipline, coachability, and steady floor-raising value.
