Ashley Taylor joined the Tennessee Tech softball staff in August 2017 as an assistant coach.

Taylor comes to Cookeville after four seasons as the head coach at Centre College. While there, she led the Colonels to a 67-83 record, 33-44 in the Southern Athletic Association.

"I'm looking forward to the experience itself," Taylor said. "I understand the demands of being a head coach and everything that is expected, so I hope that I can give insight when the situation demands it and help Coach Graham behind the scenes."

As a former softball player at Austin Peay and a graduate assistant and assistant coach at Belmont, Taylor is very familiar with the success the Golden Eagles have had in the past.

"The tradition here is impressive," she said. "In my playing days, I remember what Tennessee Tech meant and I want to help bring the team back to that and help write a new chapter in its storied history."

Taylor has worked at many camps in the Southeast, including for Belmont, Austin Peay, Tech, Tennessee and Missouri, among many others.

She received her bachelor's degree in special education from Austin Peay in 2009, while earning her master's in sport administration from Belmont in 2011.
