I thought it was Rone as in rhymes with zone.

But the announcer and Emma herself on Hokiesports sounds more like Mazza Wren

The name is EMazz. At least that's how she autographs my bats.

No, he was saying the last syllable incorrectly for sure. **

Check her pronunciation on Hokiesports roster. Definirley closer than mine**
VTBUCKLEY • 02/21/26 09:07 PM ET
I did. He was not saying that.**
dallasvt • 02/21/26 09:20 PM ET
Dont believe pronunciation by "foreign" announcers**
VAHokie89 • 02/21/26 09:01 PM ET
If you listen to her pronunciation on Hokiesports he’s correct **
VTBUCKLEY • 02/21/26 09:06 PM ET
Don't hear a pronunciation **
TomTurkey • 02/21/26 08:19 PM ET
You have to click on ear symbol after her last name**
VTBUCKLEY • 02/21/26 08:21 PM ET
I did**

Then have to hit the triangular play button.
VTBUCKLEY • 02/21/26 08:25 PM ET
Ok. Got the barometer but no triangle**
TomTurkey • 02/21/26 08:28 PM ET
I have to turn my iPhone horizontal (landscape) to see the play button**
