Emmanuel's Mack Spellman was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference's Player of the Week for the week ending January 3rd. Spellman's honor came after the senior forward led the men's basketball team to a 1-1 stint over the winter break in West Palm Beach, Florida and was named to the Northwood Classic All-Tournament Team. The Clinton, NY native poured in 24 points in Emmanuel's 81-72 loss to Northwood University on January 2nd. Spellman then notched his 4th double-double in 9 games in a 74-72 win over Palm Beach Atlantic on January 3rd. He dropped 16 points, hauled in 13 rebounds, and dished out a team-high 5 assists. Spellman shot 42.8% (12-28) from the field and 41.2% (7-17) from behind the arc for the tournament. Emmanuel is now 3-6 on the season. The Saints will be looking for their first GNAC win on Saturday (1/10), as they travel to Providence, R.I. to take on the Wildcats of JWU in a 12pm start.
