Seniors Ashley Chan and Shravan Kannepalli also received Best Soloist and Best Vocal Percussion honors, respectively.
The win marks the group’s return to the top of the podium at SingStrong, which holds its annual international a cappella festival at Adelphi University in Garden City, New York. The group first won the competition in 2020.
