Owens Signs with Eagles

Ankeny, IA – Emma Owens, of Des Moines, Iowa, has committed to the Eagle women's volleyball program, signing her letter of intent Monday for the 2021-2022 season.

Emma is the daughter of Kurt and Joy Owens and comes to the Eagle's from head coach Janessa Murphy's Grand View Christian team. 

Emma was a starter for Grand View and played middle hitter for the Thunder. She led the team in attack efficiency and was second in blocks during her senior season. The Thunder advanced to the Region 4 championship before bowing out to Stanton High.

When asked about her decision to attend Faith, Emma said "I'm excited to meet new people, experience the environment, learn new things, and play for Coach Lanny and Erin to see how God can use me there and grow me in my faith."

"We are excited to add Emma to our 2021 roster. Emma had an excellent base developed in her skills and individual match production at GVC. Emma will be counted on filling a need we have at the outside hitter position," noted Eagles head coach Lanny Nihart.

Emma plans to pursue a degree in Organizational Leadership while at Faith.
