Bio
Get to Know Emma...
When did you start playing softball?
-
I started playing softball when I was 5 years old!
What is your favorite softball memory?
-
I have way too many to count, but my favorite one is probably during my freshman year when we played a tournament in Puerto Vallarta. Beating Ole Miss during one of the late nights with all the locals from the town cheering us on was a memory I'll never forget.
Why did you choose KU?
-
I chose KU because it has been a dream and prayer of mine since I was a little girl to play at the highest level and coming to KU not only fulfilled that dream but was truly an answered prayer. Not only did it fulfill my dream but being offered to come play for this University was an opportunity that I knew I couldn't pass up. Coming to KU has been more than I could ever imagine it would've been for me. I have met the most amazing people and made the most incredible memories. This place is so special to me.
