LETHBRIDGE, AB – The U of L Pronghorn women’s rugby team has added a member of Saskatchewan’s provincial team to its roster.

She’s a member of both the Northern Saskatchewan and provincial teams and has played both 15s and sevens, playing in the forwards with time at both prop and hooker.

“Ashley brings a keen attitude and it shows quickly on the field with her aggressive running and attacking skills,” said Pronghorn head coach Neil Langevin, in a release from the program.
