Jenalyse Alarcon, who recently completed an exceptional four-year career on the CSI Women’s Basketball team, was recognized by the East Coast Conference as one of two ECC nominees for the 2025 National Collegiate Athletic Association Woman of the Year Award. Established in 1991, the NCAA Woman of the Year award is rooted in Title IX and recognizes graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their NCAA eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service, and leadership throughout their collegiate careers. She joins Eliana Raposo of St. Thomas Aquinas College Softball as the two conference student-athletes to be nominated for the honor.
Alarcon concluded her undergraduate tenure with a 3.80 GPA, graduating from CSI’s Macaulay Honors College with a degree in Information Systems with a concentration in IT Solutions this May. Her experience as a scholar in the Macaulay Honors Program taught her lessons in balancing responsibility, adapting to different teaching styles and expectations, and finding effective solutions while facing challenges confidently. For her efforts both on the court and in the classroom this year, Alarcon was selected as the 2025 ECC Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
