Emmanuel head women's basketball coach Andy Yosinoff received a "Heights Award" on January 10th at Boston College's Conte Forum. Presented by the Massachusetts State Lottery and Boston College Athletics, the award recognizes individuals in the Boston community who have exhibited a long-term commitment and dedication to the growth of women's athletics. The award was given during the Boston College women's basketball game vs. Maryland last Thursday night.

During his 31 years as head coach of Emmanuel College's women's basketball, Coach Yosinoff has compiled a list of impressive credentials, including a career record of 580-192. During the 2000-01 season, he led the Saints to their first NCAA Final Four appearance, becoming the first coach in Boston to make it to the national basketball semifinals in any category (men's or women's, Division I, II or III). Last season, he guided his team to an NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance and a Division III-best 29 wins, which included a perfect 12-0 mark in Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) play. Between 2000-2006, the Saints went undefeated in the GNAC, winning 72-straight regular season games, the longest Division III regular season conference win streak to date.

A 2003 inductee of the New England Basketball Hall of Fame, Yosinoff's résumé also includes serving as the USA Maccabiah Open head women's basketball coach in 2005, where he guided Team USA to its first-ever gold medal during the Maccabiah Games in Israel.
