Lincoln - Former Nebraska and Lincoln Northeast point guard Ashley Ford will return home as an assistant coach with the Nebraska women's basketball program, Coach Connie Yori announced on Monday.
Ford, who has spent the past five seasons on former Nebraska Associate Head Coach Cindy Fisher's staff at the University of San Diego, rejoins the Husker program after helping to lay the foundation of Nebraska's NCAA Tournament success as a player under Coach Yori.
"It is really gratifying as a coach to see the progress that Ashley has made in her career," Yori said. "Ashley always has been willing to do the right thing, be patient, work hard and trust the process.
