NEW YORK — The Skyline Conference unveiled its Fall 2025 Academic Honor Roll last Wednesday afternoon. Of the 681 fall student-athletes across the league's 12-member institutions, 31 from St. Joseph's University, New York (Brooklyn) earned the distinction.
"We are proud to recognize these student-athletes for their outstanding academic success," remarked Skyline Conference Commissioner Melissa Reilly. "Their ability to excel in the classroom while contributing to their teams on the field reflects the core values of the Skyline Conference and the Division III philosophy of balancing academic and athletic achievement."
To qualify, student-athletes must obtain a 3.3 grade-point average or above on a 4.0 scale while actively participating in men's and women's cross country, golf, men's and women's soccer, women's tennis, and women's volleyball.
14 Bears have earned Academic Honor Roll recognition in multiple semesters while competing in their fall sport. Of the 14, Rachel Meltsin of women's volleyball, Kristen Donovan and Joshua Gordon of cross country, Katherine Barrios, Casey Hobbs, and Ashley Pintado of women's soccer conclude their collegiate careers as four-time honorees.
