Why she chose Arkansas: “I chose Arkansas because I can’t see myself anywhere else. Every aspect of Fayetteville feels like home, and I know that the coaching staff and team will push me to be the best I can be.”

Hale on Parker: “Emma is a big-time athlete. She is a D1 golfer and volleyball player. She also played CFWD just a handful of years ago. She now is a tremendous 6’0” goalkeeper who can strike a ball extremely well. We cannot wait to see her continued growth.”
