She will excel as a recruiter in the Northwest with her ties to the state of Oregon and will also help us expand our recruiting efforts in all areas.” Cadotte played on the Sacramento State women’s basketball team from 2004-06.

For the 2012-13 season, she joins Craighead in her fourth year, assistant coach Bill Baxter in his second season and assistant coach Jourdan Willard, also an alum, in her third season. “Putting a coaching staff together with many ties to this university and our community has been a goal of mine,” Craighead added. “With the addition of Ashley, everyone on our staff is devoted to this program’s success as well as the Sacramento community.” Last year, Sacramento State won four straight games to close out the regular season before winning the first Big Sky Conference Tournament game in school history as the No. 6 seed Hornets upset No. 3 seed Eastern Washington, 71-61. Cadotte, a native of Oregon City, Ore., played at Clackamas JC before joining the Hornets for the 2004-05 season.
