Ashton Feldhaus joined Paul Honsinger's staff as the assistant women's basketball coach in July 2019 and was elevated to associate head coach in the summer of 2022. She enters her fifth season on the sidelines in preparation for the 2023-24 campaign. 

In her first year on the Triton sidelines, she helped lead the team to the SSC Tournament Championship and Eckerd's fourth NCAA Tournament appearance. She was instrumental in developing two all-conference selections; Octavia Loll (first team) and Zoe Richards (second team). She serves as the team's academic advisor as the Tritons ranked third nationally on the WBCA Academic Top 25 Honor Roll with a 3.78 GPA in the 2019-20 season.

In the 2021-22 season, she helped lead the program to another record setting season, including their fifth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. Eckerd finished the season No. 24 in the WBCA Coaches Poll. The team recorded the best start in program history at 9-0 and ended the season advancing to the regional semifinal, tied for the best postseason finish in school history. As the program’s recruiting coordinator, she secured two all conference selections in Lauryn Vieira, the SSC Defensive Player of the Year, and Sofia Persson, who was named to the second team and newcomer team, while also coaching the SSC Player of the Year in Maya Price. 

In the 2022-23 season, she helped guide the program to new heights, including their sixth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament and the program's first Sweet 16 appearance. Eckerd ended the season at No. 9 in the WBCA Poll and reached a season-best No. 5 in November. The team set five team single-season records, while five players set single-season records and three career program records. She also helped guide Sofia Persson to WBCA Honorable Mention All-American, D2CCA All-Region, and SSC First Team honors. She also aided Lauryn Vieira to back-to-back SSC SSC Defensive Player of the Year accolades and Maya Price to another first-team All-SSC honor. 


Feldhaus, a native of Richmond, Kentucky, brings a strong playing resume at the NCAA Division I level at both Butler (Ind.) University and the University of Tennessee at Martin.

As a freshman at Butler, Feldhaus played in all 31 games averaging 12.4 minutes per contest. She then transferred to UT-Martin, missing two seasons due to the NCAA transfer rule and an injury.

Her first season with the Skyhawks saw Feldhaus earn Second Team All-OVC honors and OVC All-Newcomer honors and was a six-time conference newcomer of the week while averaging 11.0 points and 5.1 rebounds per game.  As a senior, she earned a repeat selection to the All-OVC second team despite being slowed by injury.

Feldhaus received a Bachelors Degree in Communications and a Masters Degree in Family and Consumer Science from UT-Martin.
