Mahoney on DeMure
“Emily is a coach’s daughter – grew up in the volleyball gym, so she has a very high volleyball IQ. She is a versatile player with experience at every attacking position and as a setter. She spent the spring training at setter and did quite well. Time will tell is she stays there or returns to her more natural position as a pin hitter.”
