Statements about Ashley from some coaches:
“Ashley is the type of player that you want to build your team around.  She can shoot the deep 3, take it to the hole, or take you off the dribble and pull up for a jumper.  There is not a deficiency in her game.  She is a lock down defender, who takes pride in not allowing the opponent to score.  However, Ashley's biggest attribute is her leadership on and off of the court.  She is the epitome of team player.  Whatever it takes to win, Ashley will do.  It's cliché, but with Ashley it's the truth; Every team needs 10 Ashley Lutz's.”

"Ashley is a born leader that brings a top notch work ethic every time she steps on the floor.  She is intense, tough, and a passionate team player that shows no fear.  Ashley's ability to penetrate and dish, shoot the outside shot, shoot off of the dribble, and get physical on the inside make her an extremely versatile player and a challenge for the opponent.  In addition to that, Ashley takes great pride in her defense and is known as a defensive stopper.  Ashley is a solid basketball player that has what it takes to be a tremendous asset to any program at any level."
