NEW YORK – Over the next few weeks, the City College of New York Athletic Department will be honoring its graduating student-athletes who, due to the cancellation of the 2020-21 season, didn't get the chance to celebrate a traditional "Senior Day" this year. Today we recognize the seniors on both the men's and women's soccer teams.
Alexandra Barrera served as an anchor for the solid CCNY defense. She started 42 games and could usually be relied upon to play the entire 90 minutes. Barrera had one goal and two assists during her time with the Beavers.
Gabrielle Cillibrasi made 10 appearances as a goalkeeper, posting a 6-1-0 record. Three of her victories were shutouts, including back-to-back games against Medgar Evers and New Rochelle on Oct. 3 & 19, 2018. She also checked into the game as a defender four times.
