ROBINSON NAMED GNAC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK

Jan. 26, 2011

BOSTON, Mass. - Emmanuel College freshman Theo Robinson was recently named the GNAC Rookie of the Week for his exceptional play on the basketball court last week for the Saints.

Robinson averaged nearly a double-double (13.0 ppg and 9.7 rpg) in the Saints' three games, leading the team in both categories. In total, the rookie out of Springfield, Mass. scored 39 points, grabbed 29 rebounds and dished out two assists.

He also set the Emmanuel single-game record for rebounds, as he grabbed 19 boards against Lasell. It was the highest single-game total for an Emmanuel College player since Michael Hale '03 and Jeremiah Edison '01 grabbed 18 boards to set the previous record.

The Saints return home on Tuesday afternoon with a 5:30 p.m. contest against Norwich University.
