Here are the results from Monday’s Women’s Bruin Brawl:
The freshmen got Bruin, Jr. off campus right after the flash by crossing Highway 99. Because this ocurred before the 6:00 p.m. start time, Bruin, Jr. was returned to campus for the women to have the chance to brawl. After almost an hour and a half of brawling the ferocious freshmen women got Bruin, Jr. off campus once again by crossing Meridian.
Congratulations to the class of 2012!
With Bruin Preview on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 30-31, be sure to:
