Bri Garber Finishes Spectacular College Career

The five years that Bri Garber spent at West Chester University as a member of the softball team sure seemed to rush past in the blink of an eye. Yet, when you look back on her collegiate career, her fingerprints are all over the West Chester softball record book.

Garber holds six career records and two more single-season marks while also appearing at the top of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) ledger in three career categories. She owns the second-best total in eight other career statistics and five other single-season columns in the Golden Rams' record book while tacking on two more runner-up numbers in the PSAC book.

Garber was part of two PSAC championships (2017, 2021) and three straight Atlantic Region championships (2018, 2019, 2021). She played an integral role on some of the most successful and talented softball teams in West Chester University history.

The former Lampeter-Strasburg all-star was a .400 hitter three times during her college career. She was also a two-time honorable mention All-America, three-time All-PSAC East selection, and three-time first-team NFCA All-Atlantic Region pick. She won the PSAC East Player of the Year award in 2018 and received the Freshman of the Year nod the year before.

Garber's career .398 batting average ranks second all-time at West Chester. She holds the school record for games played (247) and games started (243). Her 320 hits is a school and conference all-time mark. The mainstay at second base also holds school records for runs scored (226) and total bases (409). Her single-season school records include runs scored (61 in 2019) and hits (85 in 2018). Her 59 runs scored in 2018 is also the second-best mark in school history.

She entered the program as a left-handed slapper. Five years later, she exits with a .508 slugging percentage and ranks among the top 10 in the school in career doubles (42). She lists third all-time in RBIs (138) as well.
