Northwestern surprised pundits across the collegiate soccer landscape in 2022, as it started the season unranked in the coaches poll only to finish the year ranked No. 11. A major contributor to the ‘Cats’ success was defender Emma Phillips. She saw her minutes increase and her usage expand from 2021 to 2022. Now, heading into her junior season and on a team that’s currently ranked No. 18 in the nation, Phillips has plenty to live up to.
Who she is
Junior; defender; 5-foot-11; from Munster, In.; member of the 2018 U15 U.S. Soccer National Team pool and a 2017 ECNL National Championship Finalist.
