Penn State Brandywine Athletics held its annual awards banquet on May 19 in the Student Union, writes Christina Billie for Penn State Brandywine.
The 2025-26 academic year marked Brandywine’s second year of provisional membership in NCAA Division III and the United East Conference.
“What a year it’s been — a truly historic one! As we wrap up our second year as provisional members of the NCAA, competing in the United East Conference, I hope you feel the same pride I do,” said Bobbi Caprice, director of athletics. “Everyone here has been part of something special, something foundational.”
More than 100 student-athletes received awards honoring their sportsmanship, grade point average, points scored, and more.
“The groundwork you’ve laid this year will serve as a cornerstone for generations of Brandywine student-athletes to come,” Caprice said.
