Emily Hurley (Pleasant Hill, Iowa) has signed a letter of intent to continue her basketball career at Northwestern College next year.

Hurley is a 5'7" point guard who had a standout four-year career playing for Grand View Christian High School. Hurley averaged 17 points, 3.8 rebounds, five steals and over two assists per game in earning all-region honors for the second consecutive year. A two-time all-conference selection, Hurley ranked near the top of the state in steals both her junior and senior years. Hurley was a member of the 1A All-Star team and earned Academic All-State honors. A member of the National Honor Society, Hurley plans to major in Business Finance at Northwestern. She is the daughter of Chuck and Chris.

"Our women's basketball team is excited to have Emily join us in the fall," said Northwestern head coach Chris Yaw. "Emily is an athletic player with special instincts on both ends of the floor. Her competitiveness, her understanding of basketball and her ability to get teammates involved will add to our fun brand of basketball. Ahead, above and beyond her abilities on the court, Emily is a high character young lady looking to serve God in her relationships and in how she uses her gifts on and off the court.  Emily is a strong student and will be a strong Christian influence on both our campus and our basketball team."
