Welk is not only the first National Player of the Year in Penn State Berks history, but also the first ever recipient from the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC).
The North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) has announced Penn State Berks as the winner of the NEAC Athletics Directors’ Cup, which is determined annually by athletic success.
Penn State Berks athletics pulled off an amazing feat this spring that has never been seen before, by the program itself or by any institution in the North Eastern Athletic Conference. All five of the teams with championships in the spring won the conference title and four of those teams went on to compete in the NCAA Tournament.
