Coach Joe DeLeo's quote: "It is sometimes hard to remember that Emma is only a sophomore. Her understanding of the game and decision making is remarkable for someone her age. Her greatest asset is her relentlessness. She appears to be tireless as she defends against our opponent, and when we have possession, she is making numerous runs to get open for her team. We are never surprised when she has a great game.''
