Argh, beat me to it, Phil. Nate Brown, Che Jones, Marcus Pillow, now Emily...the Cyclone pipeline is alive and well!
I've known Emily since she was in the 6th grade and she has always been an outstanding athlete. She will definitely be a huge help for the Bears.

"That's my wildest dream," she said. "I never thought I'd be playing at a Division I school. ... I'm just excited that I'm going to get to meet new people and compete at the collegiate level."
