The Sister Charles Marie Brantl, O.P. Award is presented to the Albertus Magnus varsity team with the highest cumulative Grade Point Average from the previous academic year.

During a career of distinction at Albertus Magnus College that lasted nearly 35 years as a professor, Administrative Council member, and Vice President for Academic Affairs, Sister Charles Marie Brantl, O.P. was a fervent advocate for the cause of the Albertus Magnus athletic program. Aside from being a tremendous supporter of the varsity sports teams at Albertus, Sister Charles was also on the College's Administrative Council when it voted to construct the Cosgrove Marcus Messer Athletic Center in 1989.

From her early days as a professor until her retirement in the spring of 2011, Sister Charles was one of the biggest fans of Albertus Magnus Athletics, making her a natural choice to be honored by the naming of an important academic award.

This year's recipient of the Sister Charles Marie Brantl, O.P. Award is the Albertus Magnus Men's Tennis team, which had a team GPA greater than 3.3 during the 2013-14 academic year.
