Emmanuel’s Director of Athletics and Recreation Pam Roecker opened the evening by welcoming everyone and praising the success of the Saints during the 2012-13 campaign. Each of Emmanuel’s head coaches then took to the stage to recap their sport-specific seasons and to present awards to their team members. The team honors included an Academic Achievement Award, an Unsung Hero, a Coach’s Appreciation Award, a Most Improved Player and a Most Valuable Player from each athletic team. At the conclusion of the team awards, Emmanuel’s Vice President of Student
