Player Profile: #5 Ashley Addison

By Patrick McCormack
High School :Hanover Park

Ashley Addison missed most of last year due to injury. This year she has come back strong leading the Lions with 10.8 points per game.

Favorite moment at Molloy was winning the ECC Championship last year. It was great to be a freshman and be a part of something so big.

Best game at Molloy: Was the overtime win against STAC. Great feeling beating the number one team at their place.

Favorite moment in high school sports was junior year winning the state sectional title against Rutherford High School. It was such a great moment because no one expected us to win and I was surrounded by teammates that I played with since elementary school. It meant so much to us.

How does it feel to play this year after missing most of last year?

It feels good to finally be on the court this year. It is a completely different feeling because last year all I could do is watch. This year I finally get to help the team on the court which is what I wish I could have done last year. It is no fun sitting on the bench with no chance of playing.

My favorite moment in basketball was in 2003 when Syracuse Men’s team won the NCAA tournament. I still remember it like it was yesterday being in 6th grade and telling everyone they were going to win.

My favorite athlete is Candance Parker. I love her athleticism and the heart she has for the game. She would go through a wall for her team.

Why do you wear number 5? I wear number 5 because number 12 was taken, and some of my favorite players wore number 5.

What do you like to do when you are not on the court? When I'm not on the court I like to hang out with my friends and most importantly I like to sleep!
