LUBBOCK, Texas \u2013 Texas Tech Soccer and head coach Tom Stone<\/a> have announced the addition of Penn State defender Emma Fassora.<\/p>\n

A native of Louisville, Colo., Fassora played her club soccer with the historic Real Colorado program for coaches Lorne Donaldson, Lyle Lebere and April Kater.<\/p>\n

Ranked as a top-200 prospect out of high school, Fassora played in four matches for Penn State a season ago, tallying 69 total minutes.<\/p>\n

A veteran of both the US Olympic Development Program and the USYNT, Fassora also trained with the KC Current’s Reserve Team.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Fassora led Real to the ECNL Conference Cup and was a multiple time ECNL Girls Northwest All-Conference selection.<\/p>\n

A graduate of Monarch High School, Fassora also ran track in high school and was a four-time Academic Honor Roll selection and was the Spanish Honor Society President.<\/p>\n

Emma has one brother, Jake, who swam collegiately at RPI. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Fassora continues a strong pipeline of Colorado players heading to Lubbock that started with Janine Beckie and has included All-Big 12 performers like Peyton Parsons<\/a> and Kylie Bahr<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The versatile defender will enroll at Texas Tech later this summer and joins BYU transfer Addie Sine and former Real teammate GK Addie Todd<\/a> (FSU) in the Red Raiders transfer portal class.<\/p>\n

HEAD COACH TOM STONE:

\n“Emma is a special player with terrific experience at both Real Colorado and Penn State. She is a class player with a wonderful growth mindset and an impressive desire to compete at the highest levels. Her personality and family are a perfect fit for our team dynamic and we believe that Emma will have a great impact on our program from the minute she gets on campus. I’m excited to coach her and add her to our 2026 team this fall.”
