HONOLULU—University of Hawai'i he­­ad softball coach Bob Coolen announced the signing of right-handed pitcher Emerson Coblentz of Burbank, Calif. She joins nine others new Rainbow Wahine who will be joining the program in the Fall of 2024.
 
Emerson will graduate this spring from John Burroughs High School where she's also played at first base and in the outfield in addition to pitching for the Bears. Last year, she recorded a 7-1 record with 73 strikeouts and an 1.20 ERA in 52.1 innings pitched.
 
"Emerson is a right-handed pitcher who has good movement on her pitches. She has a very good change-up and she will bolster our 2025 pitching staff," says Coolen.
