As EMU Women’s Basketball Head Coach Sahar Nusseibeh said, "Well, first off, thank you. I think it starts with our fans and our support. It’s so important for our women—and our men, when we're competing—to look up and see people backing us. So, my first message is one of gratitude. And my second message is: get excited and stay with us. Just as I’m asking our women to stay resilient through the ups and downs, I hope our fans will do the same this season. There will be highs, lows, injuries, wins, and losses—stay with us and enjoy the ride. One thing I can always promise is that we’ll work hard and stay connected. We’re looking forward to a great season."
