| ASHLEY WALKER HEAD WOMEN'S BASKETBALL COACH WILEY COLLEGE LADY WILDCATS |
"I would like to thank Dr. Morale and the Wiley College Administration for the amazing opportunity to be the head women's basketball coach at Wiley College," Walker said. "Wiley is a great college with rich tradition and values and I am excited to be a part of that. It also helps that it's much closer to home for me."
Walker spent the last three seasons as an assistant at South Carolina State University in Orangeburg, S.C. While at SC State, she helped the team to an impressive 20-9 record in her first season and coached two-time All-MEAC performer Kourtney Williams, who finished her career as the seventh all-time leading scorer in school history.
Prior to SC State, Walker spent seven seasons (2005-2012) as an assistant coach at Angelina College in Lufkin, Tex. During her time there, the team went 135-81. Walker, a Bryan, Texas, native, played two years at Angelina College after leaving Bryan High School as a highly sought-after recruit. In the 1999-2000 season, she was part of the team that broke the program record for wins in a season with a 24-7 mark. Her success at the junior college level led to a scholarship at Texas Wesleyan University, where she played for another two seasons before receiving her Bachelor of Science in exercise of sports studies in 2005.
Upon graduating, Walker returned to Angelina College as an assistant to head coach Bryan Coleman. At Angelina, the team set a school-record with 26 wins in the 2009-10 season. She helped coach three National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) All-Americans, two Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Americans and two freshmen of the year. Additionally, the 2006-07 team earned Academic All-American honors. Several of Walker's Lady Roadrunner players went on to play Division I basketball.
