Coach, Women's Swimming & Diving, 1983-1992

Her teams' overall winning percentage of .708 (63-26) is the highest in the program's history and was accomplished during the transition from Division III to I.

Emily's student-athletes were proficient in the classroom, as well; her 1990 team ranked first, nationally, in team grade point average and the 1991 team was third. Four Academic All-Americans were on her rosters.

Within Division II competition, she produced 44 All-Americans, 24 Honorable Mention All-Americans and her 1990 team was third in the NCAA championships. Four of her team members are enshrined in the University at Buffalo Athletic Hall of Fame.

UB was unbeaten (11-0) during the dual meet portion of the 1986-87 campaign and won the SUNYAC championships. Three Division II East Coast Conference crowns were to follow.

Emily focused on student welfare issues as Assistant Director of Athletics, created the first student-athlete handbook and was honored in 2002 for her effort on behalf of UB athletics and in particular, women's sports.
