PEORIA, IL - With the demands of the college basketball season completed, Bradley Basketball senior guard Darrell Brown is interning in the school's Athletics Communications Office for the remainder of the 2020 Spring semester. With the state of Illinois enacting a "Shelter at Home" policy during the COVID-19 pandemic and Bradley University completing the spring semester through online education, Brown's internship project is to schedule, plan and execute Zoom interviews with his fellow Bradley student-athletes.

In Episode 5 of "Five with 5," Brown visits with Bradley Volleyball sophomore outside hitter Hannah Thompson, who has earned All-Missouri Valley Conference honors in each of her first two seasons with the Braves. From nearby Pekin, IL, Thompson was the 2018 MVC Freshman of the Year and became just the third sophomore in Bradley Volleyball history to earn first-team All-MVC recognition in 2019, when she was the only player in the nation to record at least 380 kills and 550 digs.

The interview series is scheduled to continue with postings on Tuesdays and Thursdays on the Bradley Athletics official website, BradleyBraves.com. While the web series feature will include five questions and answers by Brown and his guest, the complete interview sessions will be posted to the Bradley Athletics Facebook page.
