QUINCY, Ill. - Quincy University women's lacrosse has announced the hiring of Ashli Bryan as an assistant coach ahead of the upcoming season, marking the first year of her collegiate coaching career with the Hawks.

Bryan joins the Hawks after most recently serving as an assistant women's lacrosse coach at Emory & Henry College during the fall 2025 season. She brings experience from both the collegiate and high school levels, along with a strong background in player development and recruiting.

Prior to her time at Emory & Henry, Bryan spent two seasons (2023–24) as a graduate assistant at Muskingum University, where she also completed her master's degree in organizational leadership in the winter of 2025. During the spring 2025 season, she coached at Chesapeake Math & IT Academy North, helping lead the program to a PGCPS Divisional Title and an MPSSAA Regional Championship. In addition, Bryan currently serves as the head coach and recruiting coordinator for 301 Elite, a role she has held since 2024.

A native of Lanham, Maryland, Bryan played four-and-a-half seasons of collegiate lacrosse at Davis & Elkins College, competing as a defender. She earned her bachelor's degree in sports management with a minor in business from Davis & Elkins in the fall of 2022.

Bryan will assist with on-field instruction, player development, and recruiting as the Hawks continue to build their women's lacrosse program.
