As a freshman in 2023-24, the Libertyville, Ill. native averaged 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 33 games. She shot 42% from field goal range.
“We had a strong relationship with Emily from her recruitment out of high school and believe that she fits perfectly with our tough, hard-nosed, gritty, hard-working culture here at Nebraska,” Nebraska Head Coach Amy Williams said. “She brings a versatility and a willingness to guard almost any position on the floor. We are excited to have her spend her remaining two years here in Lincoln.”
At Libertyville High School, Fisher was the No. 80 overall recruit by ESPN in the class of 2023. She averaged 13.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.6 assists as a senior. She was a 4A First Team All-State selection, a First Team All-Conference pick and a First Team All-Area honoree. Fisher is Libertyville’s all-time block leader with 100 career blocks.
