Emery ended her career as a three-time First Team MCC honoree (1989-92) and was Second Team All-Mideast by the National Softball Coaches Association in 1991. In the circle, she ranks first in school history in innings pitched (685), wins (74) and appearances (129) and is second in ERA (1.32). As a senior, she led the MCC with 16 wins and a 0.48 ERA. 

She also helped the Titans win three regular season championships as well as two conference tournament titles.

As a freshman, she was U-D's top pitcher going 20-8 in the circle with a 1.05 ERA, the first 20-game winner in school history. She totaled 174 2/3 innings and allowed just 140 hits, amassing seven shutouts and helping the program to what was a school-record 37-20-1 mark, including winning the MCC regular season with a 7-1 mark.
 
Even more impressive was the conference tournament as the Titans claimed wins over Evansville (2-1), Notre Dame (1-0) and a pair of wins over St. Louis (3-0, 6-1) to earn the trophy.
 
By the time her junior year came, she was already cemented as one of the best pitchers in school history. In 1991, she helped the Titans break a school record that still stands with 39 wins as the red, white and blue were 39-26, winning the regular season with a 9-1 ledger. She was 20-8 with a 1.70 ERA, throwing 205 1/3 innings and allowing just 171 hits with 24 complete games and eight shutouts and was tabbed the MCC Player of the Year.
 
Emery beat Notre Dame three times that season, including maybe her best game a 1-0 win over the Fighting Irish in eight innings, where she allowed just one hit.

Emery's final campaign was again highly successful as she posted a .48 ERA – another school record that still stands – with a 16-3 record. Due to scheduling, the team played just 34 games going 26-8, including 7-3 in the MCC for a share of first. Once again it was the Titans and Fighting Irish in the finals and behind solid pitching from Emery, Detroit Mercy was victorious 2-1 and 5-0 in the title games.
