TAMPA, Fla- The University of Tampa is proud to name senior women's soccer goalkeeper Megan Bromwell winner of the 2020-21 Iron Spartan Award, which is given annually to a male and female UT student-athlete.

This award recognizes the student-athlete who demonstrates intensity, focus, leadership, positive attitude and has shown improved athletic performance due to their consistency in the weight room.
