Brescia University is inducting two new members into the The Brescia University Athletic Hall of Fame.
Keith Martin will be the featured speaking for the event. This year during the banquet, Brescia will recognize student athletes for their work on and off the field of play as well as in the classroom. The Brescia University Hall of Fame honors student-athletes, coaches and other individuals who have contributed to the promotion, development and success of Brescia University’s athletic program. Members of the Hall of Fame exemplify what it means to be a Brescia Bearcat.
The 2019 Athletic Hall of Fame inductees who will be honored at the Athletic Hall of Fame Banquet on Saturday, April 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the Moore Center are Olivia Moore Schum ‘14 and Andy Roberts ’02.
