MEDIA, Pa. – Penn State Brandywine Athletics held its annual athletics banquet on Wednesday, May 24, in Parsons Hall.
“It’s been a great year for Brandywine Athletics,” said Bobbi Caprice, director of athletics. “All of our teams reached the post-season which resulted in another Chancellors Cup victory for Brandywine, and the year was capped off with softball winning their first national championship. We certainly had a lot to celebrate at our end-of-year banquet. In addition to the on-field accomplishments, I was so proud to see all the academic accolades our student-athletes received. It was a special night.”
