Ashley (Bramwell) Arruda of Marshfield, Mass., was an instrumental player during one of the most successful stretches in women’s basketball program history. She was a legitimate back-to-the-basket post player who could score with both hands. When she was not dominating on the block, Ashley showed she could step out and shoot the long ball, which was evident by six three-pointers at Middlebury on Jan. 29, 2002. Ashley garnered several conference and regional awards during her playing career. She was named to the New England Women’s Basketball Association (NEWBA) All-Star Second Team and played in the NEWBA Senior Classic. Ashley was named twice to the All-Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) First Team and once to the Second Team. She remains the all-time leader in free throws (359) and, upon graduation, ranked second in points (1,354), fourth in rebounds (784) and fourth in field goals (475).
Arruda has spent the past nine years as a kindergarten teacher in Scituate, Mass. Arruda is happily married with two kids. Caroline is three years old and Luke is five months. After college, Arruda went on to coach high school basketball and softball, but has retired from coaching since having kids.
