"From the beginning, the support of this community of Roanoke Valley and Salem has always been a prominent reason for my why. This season is just another testament to the support and community involvement that Salem brings to all things Salem. We could not be more excited and proud of the support we received this year. It is not only beneficial to our team on Saturdays, but beneficial in recruiting as we continue to move forward as a program. On behalf of Roanoke College, our staff and our team we can't thank you enough for all that you do. Thank you and go Maroons."
