Northville, Mich. native Emma Worley is in her third season with the Huskers. In high school, Worley was named to the All-State tennis team in 2015 and 2016. At Nebraska, she has primarily competed on the singles court. Worley has been named to the Tom Osbourne Citizenship Team as well as the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll.
Emma took the time to answer some questions to help us learn a little more about her life off the tennis court.

What you would do with a time machine: travel in time
When you're not competing, you like to: when I’m not on the court I can usually be found studying. But I do enjoy spending my free time hanging out with friends and going to other teams’ sporting events
Superpower you wish you had: I wish I could fly
Greatest sources of inspiration in your life: my parents
The best thing about Nebraska: I love all of the people here. Everyone is so positive, encouraging, and everyone does everything they can to make sure they are helping us and giving us all an amazing experience here in Nebraska.
Favorite Part About Living in Lincoln: I like living near campus and downtown so I can walk everywhere and get there quickly
What you want to do after college: I want to attend graduate school and then work in an athletic performance lab and do testing/research with athletes working on sports performance. I either want to focus in biomechanics or exercise physiology.
Most Rewarding Community Service Experience: I mentor at one of the elementary schools here in Lincoln every week. Last year I worked with a group of 5th grade girls and this year I am working with a group of 3rd grade boys. It is a great feeling to see the kids every week, help them out, and spend time with them.
