The coronavirus pandemic has affected the global community in myriad ways, and led to an unprecedented spring for Siena College Athletics. With no games to cover, we are striving to stay connected with Saints fans across the world by providing new and unique features highlighting the inspirational stories of our nearly 400 student athletes, coaches, administrators, and staff, while also furnishing both vital and useful information for the Siena community on how to be well and stay safe during these challenging times.
This landing page serves as a one-stop hub for all of our special non-traditional coverage of our Saints this spring, as it pertains to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the related personal stories and features which have come from it. Make sure to check back often, as this page will continue to be populated with new features as they become available.
For additional unique Siena Athletics spring coverage - including spotlight features on our spring sports seniors who had their careers cut short, on this day in Siena history, top plays from the past season, and more - make sure to follow us on social media through our twitter, facebook, and instagram pages @SienaSaints as well as on YouTube at youtube.com/thesienasaints.
