Faces of the Big South: Emmy Cardenas, Winthrop

A leader on and off the field, she embodies the complete student-athlete.

A US Marine Corps Distinguished Female Athlete in high school and member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, she makes an impact beyond the game through Team IMPACT and community service.

Her resilience shows in competition. After a midseason injury in 2025, she returned to deliver key innings, including a clutch game-tying solo home run at Radford and an RBI single at Clemson.

Her determination and versatility continue to elevate her team when it matters most.

For this project, I served as the video editor, colorist, audio mixer, and interviewer.
