The Westman Wildcats would like to extend its congratulations to Ashley Spence, a 3rd year Wildcat defenseman from Bottineau, ND, who has committed to attend school at, and play hockey with, the Minot State University Beavers in the fall of 2020.  Ashley intends to enroll in the Pre-Dentistry program.

In 28 league games last year Ashley had 5 assists. Overall, in 58 games last season, Ashley scored 1 goal and added 8 assists for 9 points. So far this year she has recorded an assist in 8 league games.

From Coach Miner of the MSU Beavers, “We are excited to have Ashley join our program in the fall.  She is a strong positional player who reads the ice well and her presence on the point will add depth to our roster.”

Founded in 1913 as a normal school, Minot State University is the third-largest university in North Dakota, offering undergraduate and graduate degree programs.  Three colleges comprise the university’s academic offerings: Arts and Sciences, Business, and Education and Health Sciences.
