The City University of New York Athletic Conference annually recognizes its best and brightest student-athletes, who not only excel in athletics, but succeed in the classroom as well. Over the next few weeks, CUNYAC will recognize those who truly embody what it means to be a student-athlete. To be eligible for the award, the nominee must be graduating with a preferred 3.5 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale).
Elliot Breslav, a member of the Baruch men's soccer team, owns a strong 3.792 grade-point average, majoring in Finance with a minor in Law and Policy. Breslav is finishing his degree and graduating in three years, with his sights set on attending law school in the Fall of 2020. Breslav is a three-year member of the Bearcats' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), and a member of Baruch's Crypto-Currency Club, Accounting Society and The Hillel.
On the pitch, Breslav was a three-year letter winner, appearing in 10 games and logging over 300 minutes of playing time in goal. The senior was a member of the Bearcats' 2018 CUNYAC Championship Team, helping Baruch punch a ticket to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2014.
"I would like to thank my family and everyone at Baruch for helping me throughout my college career as a student-athlete. It is a great honor to be considered for CUNYAC Scholar Athlete Honorable Mention and it was an amazing experience to be a student-athlete at a top university for the past three years. The lessons learned along with the skills developed will stay with me for a lifetime."
