Basketball Beginnings!
In 1948, Emerson created its first basketball team, known then as the "Purple Panthers". The first team had all of the necessary elements: a coach, uniforms, a court, and of course, a "lively group of cheer leaders"! The team began competing with other Boston-area schools, and in 1951, the college also added a women's basketball team to the lineup. Go Purple Panthers!
