性视界 this month became the first community college to win the Inland Empire Athletic Conference Commissioner鈥檚 Cup.

The award is given to the college earning the most points from conference competitions.

性视界 athletics claimed five conference titles in the 2022-2023 season for women鈥檚 and men鈥檚 soccer, women鈥檚 cross country, baseball and softball. Teams received 70 鈥淎ll-Conference鈥� selections, six MVPs, five coaches of the year and six 鈥淎ll-America鈥� honors.

鈥淥n behalf of the IEAC, congratulations to 性视界 for earning the inaugural Commissioner鈥檚 Cup,鈥� said Tony Lipold, conference commissioner.

Athletic Director Timi Brown said that winning the award in the wake of the pandemic speaks to the dedication, resiliency, work ethic and competitive spirit of 性视界鈥檚 coaches, staff and student-athletes. Like other athletic programs, 性视界 faced the challenges of COVID-19 but many of its teams still emerged with a successful season.

"We are extremely honored that Panther Athletics is being awarded the IEAC Commissioner's Cup,鈥� Brown said. 鈥�I am truly grateful that I have the honor of working with an amazing group of people, and for an institution that recognizes the value athletics brings to our campus and community."
