Prep Dig: Why did you choose Creighton?

Prep Dig: What other schools were you considering?
Emily Bressman: Kansas State, South Dakota and Omaha.
Prep Dig: What are your thoughts about playing for coach Kirsten Bernthal Booth?
Emily Bressman: “I am so excited to play under coach Booth. Seeing the way she has built the program and the strong relationship she has with her players in incredible.”
Prep Dig: How important was/is it to you to be able to play close to home?
Emily Bressman: “It’s huge playing close to home. I love my family and it’s amazing that they have multiple opportunities to come to Creighton games.”
Prep Dig: Now that you’ve made your college choice, do you feel more “free” to just go out and play?
Emily Bressman: “I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. And it’s a great feeling because I know it was the right choice.”
Prep Dig: Has Creighton said if you will get a chance to hit or will you be back row – and how do you feel about that?
Emily Bressman: “I will most likely be playing back row for Creighton. Coach Booth mentioned I have a ‘hammer of an arm’ so I will be able to take some swings in practices and hit back row a lot. I am excited to take my defense to the next level.”
Prep Dig: Is there anything else you want to add to make sure gets mentioned?
Emily Bressman: “Creighton has always been my dream school. Marian coaches and my Nebraska Elite coaches have really made this dream come true. I am thrilled to be a part of the Creighton family.”
