In her freshman year, she was named MEC Freshman of the Year and World Exposure Report Division II Freshman of the Year.
In her final collegiate season, Weakley was named Frostburg State Female Athlete of the Year, finishing with a career average of 26.2 points per game for the second most in all of Division II women's basketball history.

Outside the court and the classroom, Weakley is a member of the Beta Gamma Sigma Society which recognizes students for excellence in business leadership and academic achievements. She serves in her hometown community at Mt. Carmel Regular Baptist Church, while also volunteering with food drives and special needs children. The Luray, Virginia native also helps volunteer coach at her alma mater Luray High School.
"In her three seasons, Emilee established herself as not just one of the best players to have played at Frostburg State, but in Division II women's basketball history.", said FSU Women's Basketball Head Coach Jenna Eckleberry. "Her statistics speak for themselves, but her dedication and leadership cannot be understated. She is the hardest working athlete both on the court and in the classroom and has always been the first to step up in a leadership role. She embodies every great quality you could ask for in a player and above all else, is an even better person."
