New York, NY - The City College of New York baseball program has earned the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Team Academic Excellence Award for the second straight year for its achievements in the classroom during the 2022-23 academic year, announced by the association on Wednesday.

Presented by Sports Attack, nearly 800 teams from every level of college and high school baseball were honored with this year's award, which highlights programs coached by ABCA members that posted a GPA of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale for the entire 2022-23 academic year.

During the 2022-23 academic year, the Beavers posted a 3.2 team grade-point average. In all, 22 student-athletes earned a GPA of 3.0 or higher, 18 registered a 3.2 GPA or higher, and nine accumulated a 3.5 or higher. CCNY was one of 162 NCAA Division III teams recognized and the only team from the CUNY Athletic Conference to earn the award.

The Beaver's success in the classroom accompanied success on the field during the 2023 campaign, as the program captured the CUNY Athletic Conference Championship, the Beaver's first title since 1994.
