Ashley (Rogers) Winter completed her fifth season with Loras in 2011. A graduate of Wahlert High School and Wartburg College, Winter is now a member of the coaching staff with the Duhawks after completing her degree in Business Administration (Marketing).

During her playing career with the Knights, Winter was a first team All-Iowa Conference selection each season from her middle hitter position. During her final season Winter was the league MVP and a first team All-American. Her coaching experiences include numerous camps as well as youth teams. In early July, Winter was named the Iowa Conference’s nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award. Winter is also the head coach of the Loras softball team beginning with the 2010 season.

“The Loras volleyball program stresses the importance of working hard, having fun and building relationships that will last far beyond the volleyball court. The commitment to excellence and teamwork has resulted in two Iowa Conference Championships in the past five seasons.  It is very rewarding to work with such talented student-athletes with a passion for the game of volleyball.”

Winter was recently married in November to Bud Winter.
