Former Lehigh volleyball standout Emily Poole ’20 enters her second season as the program’s graduate assistant in 2021.
“I’m excited to be taking on this new role as GA and to be able to give back to the program that molded me into a strong young woman, said Poole. “I look forward to having a similar impact on the next generation of Lehigh Volleyball athletes.
“I am so pumped to be a part of this staff and learn what it takes to be a Division I coach. Coach Alexa, Deb and Zee will all be fantastic mentors for me going forward and have already gone above and beyond in welcoming me to the staff.”
Poole was a four-year letter-winning middle blocker for the Mountain Hawks, achieving many top honors including Second Team All-Patriot League in her final two seasons. She once again led the team in solo blocks (34) and total blocks (129) during the 2019 campaign. Her 263 block assists rank seventh in program history, while sitting eighth in career solo blocks (119) and eighth in total blocks (382).
The York, Pa. native made an appearance in 114 matches during her tenure in the Brown and White, hitting .260 for her career with 538 kills.
We are very excited to welcome Emily into this new role,” Keckler said. “She has such a strong passion for the game of volleyball and a deep love for Lehigh which makes it a great fit.
“Providing insight about the student-athlete experience and her ability to guide our current team members through their four years will be a great asset for our staff. We are beyond happy that Emily chose to stay on board for another two years, we weren't ready to let her go.”
Poole will be studying Environmental Policy as she works towards getting her Master’s degree from Lehigh.
