The Medford, NJ native didn’t start out with a love for the goalie position right away. She enjoyed being able to score goals and run around as a midfielder until she entered high school. That’s where she was able to develop her love for the fast-paced nature and energy of the position that drove her to become a full-time goalie and eventually get recruited to play division 1 lacrosse at ECU.
Despite her love for her team and coaches, Vernon made the decision to transfer out of ECU in January of 2022, in an attempt to find a better school for her education.
The 2-time AAC All-Academic Team selection landed on Virginia as her destination. UVA’s teaching hospital was a huge selling point for Ashley as she is a pre-med student.
In her first season with the Cavaliers Vernon has had a solid start with 13.47 GAA, .380 save % and making 82 saves.
Ashley joins the show today to talk about her progress in the net, why she transferred, her experience at Virginia, and much more!
Lacrosse is my passion! The game has given me so much and this blog is my way of giving back to the lax community. Specifically the most bad a$$ part of that community - the goalies! After learning to play goalie from scratch, I wanted to create a site where I could share what I learned with others so they too can become champions in the crease and in life.
