Emme Price enters her first season as a co-Head Coach for the Nichols women's and men's volleyball programs in 2024-25.
In her first spring with the men's program, Price worked alongside fellow co-Head Coach Hayden West Mather to pilot the Bison to a 21-15 overall record, including a 14-4 mark since taking the helm on February 24th. 2025 also saw the program claim its third consecutive New England Volleyball Conference (NEVC) Championship title, earning them the automatic qualifier into the NCAA Division III Tournament where they opened with a 3-1 play-in round victory over Randolph-Macon College, the team's first ever NCAA Tournament victory. The following day, Price helped coach the Bison to a massive upset win of No. 3 ranked Stevens Institute of Technology, also by a score of 3-1, making them the first program in NCAA DIII Men's Volleyball history to eliminate the host institution in the first round.
Following the campaign, the program under Price's leadership received three All-NEVC First Team Selections in Tanner Soracco, Jack Normandin and Dylan Knapp, with the program rising to No. 17 nationally in the final American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) poll of the spring on May 3rd.
Prior to joining Nichols, Price served as an assistant coach at the State University of New York-Plattsburgh. Their 2023 season marked the best season for the program in the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) in a decade, as Plattsburgh qualified for the SUNYAC Tournament for the first time since 2013. Plattsburgh State went 12-13 overall (3-6 SUNYAC) and earned the No. 6 seed in the conference tournament.
Before coaching, the Glendale, Arizona native played collegiate at the State University of New York-Potsdam (2018-2021). She earned her Bachelor of Arts in history from Potsdam in 2021 and was a seven-time President’s List honoree (3.5 GPA or higher).
