“Signing with the Dash has been a dream come true. My journey to this point was untraditional but I feel that is what makes it so meaningful to me,” Ashouri said. “I set my mind to playing professionally after college and I’m so incredibly thankful to the Dash organization for the opportunity. I’m also so thankful for my time with Wyoming soccer. I couldn’t have asked for a better environment to play in. Go Pokes and Dash on.”
Following Wyoming, she played for the TTI Bluebonnets in the Women’s Professional Soccer League (WPSL) and scored two goals and two assists during the 2019 campaign. More recently, she played with Athletic Houston FC, a men’s semi-professional team in the United Premier Soccer League.
