VESTAL, N.Y. –  The America East Conference has released its list of Presidential Scholar-Athletes for the 2024-25 academic year and nine Binghamton student-athletes are included among the selections.

The America East Presidential Scholar-Athlete award recognizes graduating student-athletes who compiled a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or higher as an undergraduate student. In addition, honored student-athletes must have received their undergraduate degree in the academic year they are honored and have attended their current institution for a minimum of two years.

The most prominent Bearcat selection this year is volleyball standout Tsvetelina Ilieva, who capped her career with her third straight AVCA Honorable Mention All-America honor last fall. Ilieva also earned Academic All-America accolades from the College Sports Communicators (CSC) for the 2024 season.

Among the other Binghamton honorees are three student-athletes from the women's track & field team. They include Jennifer Mui, Zoe Rose and Jessica Prentice. Mui capped her career with her second straight America East 3,000 Steeplechase (SC) championship last month as well as her first career appearance at the NCAA East Region Outdoor Meet.

Representing the men's soccer program is 2024 captain Carlo Cavalar while Nicole Rago and Hailey Roberts were part of the women's soccer team. 

Rounding out Binghamton's Presidential Scholar-Athletes are Rachel Bostian of the women's swimming & diving team and Colin Delay of the men's lacrosse program.
