Driscoll Named Skyline Men's Volleyball Rookie of the Year

NEW YORK — St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) sophomore Tim Driscoll (Staten Island, N.Y./St. Peter's) was selected as the Skyline Conference Rookie of the Year and landed on the All-Conference Second Team announced by the league office today.

Driscoll becomes the first team history to receive All-Skyline year-end praise and is the third Bear student-athlete this academic year to collect Rookie of the Year honors.

Also a member of the men's basketball team, Driscoll led all Skyline rookies with team highs in kills (100), service aces (14), and points (116.5). The sophomore outside hitter recorded three double-doubles on the year, two in victories, most notably a season-high 16-kill, 10-dig effort in 3-1 win over Sarah Lawrence.

Driscoll helped the Bears (3-16, 3-7)  to a three-win improvement in Skyline play over 2017 and narrowly missed out on their first playoff appearance finishing in a program-best fifth place.
