Thirty-Two Bears Land on Skyline Fall Academic Honor Roll
NEW YORK — Recognizing outstanding achievement in the classroom and the playing field, 32 student-athletes from St. Joseph's College (Brooklyn) were named to the Skyline Academic Honor Roll as announced by the league office on Thursday.

In total, 483 student-athletes across 12 institutions received the distinction. With nine honorees, women's soccer led the way for the Bears while women's cross country followed with seven. Of the 13 Bears who are repeat honorees, nine have earned the distinction three times.
