"I am very excited to add Ashlyn to our 2014 class," Wright said. "She is a good athlete who can not only pitch, but can hit and play defense. She is a fierce competitor and that will serve her well at this level. I cannot wait to see this kid in action. I fully expect her to have a great career here at ISU."
