Adding onto his CUNYAC award, the Brooklyn native has garnered one Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association (MBWA) Divisions II-III Player of the Week Award and four MBWA Honorable Mention selections. Fullerton's first-team nod is the program's second in as many seasons.  

"To be honored by CUNYAC is amazing. I am truly humbled, grateful and blessed to be in this position. I wouldn't be in this position without my teammates and coaching staff.  They've trusted me with everything this season and I couldn't have done anything without them. This honor means so much to me. I've been through so much this past season and being honored by CUNYAC lets me know that my resilience has been recognized and that to me is priceless."- said Fullerton.

Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, junior forward Olawale Kila earned Second-Team All-Star status after starting in 25 games to record 13.0 points and 9.9 rebounds in 30.6 minutes per contest while shooting 47.7 percent (133-of-279) from the field and 71.1 percent (54-of-76) from the free-throw line.

Kila's performances helped him receive an MBWA Divisions II-III Honorable Mention distinction in December. Kila is York's fifth-straight second-team all-star selection.

"This means the world to me and this honor is a true testament of being on a team that puts me in position to be the best team player I can be. It is a full circle moment for me and it gives me a sense of fulfillment that all my work that was put in over the last three years was worth it. Thank you again to the CUNYAC."- stated Kila

Senior guard Devine Chisholm, a four-year starter from Brooklyn, added a Sportsmanship Award to go along with his two prior Second-Team All-Star selections and Rookie of the Year distinction.

The Sportsmanship Award is York's first since 2017-18 (Jean Joseph), while the program has now garnered a member on the sportsmanship team in five-consecutive seasons.

"This means a lot to me and is an amazing feeling and I am appreciative for the recognition from CUNYAC. To be able to be recognized all four years as one of the top players in the conference is definitely a humbling experience. I wouldn't be here without any of my teammates and coaching staff."- said Chisholm

"As a three-year captain, Devine always displays respect to his opponents, teammates, coaches and officials. He always remains encouraging while holding his teammates accountable for their actions." - echoed head coach Jamel Gist
