SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The SUNYAC selectes Geneseo's Trevor Bollinger as the 2023 Men's Lacrosse Scholar Athlete of the Year. This award is nominated and voted on by the conference sports information directors. 

Bollinger has a 4.0 cumulative GPA with a double major in chemistry and sociology. He was named USILA Honorable Mention All-American, selected to the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) All-Tournament Team, named the SUNYAC Elite 20 Award Winner, earned CSC Academic All-District honors, an Academic All-American and was a First-Team All-SUNYAC selection.

In order to be eligible for the SUNYAC Scholar Athlete of the Year award student-athletes must prove both academic and athletic excellence by obtaining a minimum 3.30 overall GPA, be a starter or significant reserve for their team, and be at least a sophomore. The SUNYAC Scholar Athlete Award began in 2016-17.
