Ashley has a ton of experience at the highest level and coached in multiple NCAA tournaments. Her ability to mentor, connect, and grow young women through the game of basketball will be a tremendous asset for everyone involved with our program.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Davis had two separate stints at Oklahoma State as an assistant coach from 2023-26 and as an assistant coach\/recruiting coordinator from 2015-21. The San Antonio, Texas native helped the Cowgirls to five NCAA Tournament appearances and one WNIT appearance. Davis also assisted in the development of four All-Americans and three WNBA Draft picks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so grateful to coach Collins for the opportunity to join the NDSU women&#8217;s basketball family. Coach Collins is easily one of the best coaches in the country and has built one of the best programs in the country! I&#8217;m excited to learn, serve, and pour everything I have into our players while continuing to build on the championship culture. I&#8217;m ready to get to work \u2013 Go Bison!&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Davis has also had stops at Arizona from 2021-23 as an assistant coach\/recruiting coordinator where she guided the Wildcats to two NCAA Tournament appearances. Prior to Arizona, Davis had stints at North Texas as the associate head coach from 2012-15 and Georgetown from 2008-12 as an assistant coach\/recruiting coordinator. She helped the Hoyas to three straight NCAA Tournament appearances and advanced to the Sweet 16 in 2011.<\/p>\n<p>Davis was a four-year letterwinner at TCU and was a two-time All-Conference selection. She graduated with a bachelor&#8217;s degree in business administration in 2005 and earned her master&#8217;s in educational administration in 2007.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FARGO, N.D. \u2013 Head coach Jory Collins has announced the addition of Ashley Davis to the North Dakota&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-813110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
