Brooke Batchelor of the New York University women's basketball team has been named to the College Sports Communicators Division III Academic All-America Second Team, marking her first time receiving this honor. The junior guard from Oakton, Virginia, has had a standout season, already recognized as the UAA Defensive Player of the Year and a WBCA Division III Honorable Mention All-American. Batchelor played a crucial role in leading the Violets to their third consecutive undefeated regular season and another NCAA Sectional Championship, averaging 13.4 points per game with impressive shooting percentages of 48.8% from the field and 38.7% from three-point range. She also averaged 2.7 steals per contest. In addition to Batchelor's accolades, the Violets' women's basketball team saw Caroline Peper named All-Met Division III Player of the Year and First Team All-Met, while Batchelor and sophomore Zahra Alexander also earned All-Met recognition.

On the men's side, NYU's basketball team also received accolades from the Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association, with Peper leading the charge. The senior guard set a program record by making 112 three-pointers this season and tied an NYU single-game scoring record with 41 points against the United States Merchant Marine Academy on November 30, 2025. Peper's contributions helped propel the Violets to their third consecutive Final Four appearance, finishing the season with an average of 18.6 points and 100 assists.

In golf, both the men's and women's teams excelled over the weekend, with three student-athletes earning weekly honors from the UAA and Liberty League. Tanmay Chandra was named Liberty League Performer of the Week after leading the men's team to victory at the Dr. Tim Brown Invitational, where he finished tied for fourth with a +1 score. Meanwhile, Jiayi Fu earned both Liberty League Rookie of the Week and UAA Athlete of the Week honors, finishing as the top performer for the women's team at the Jack Leaman Invitational, where she placed second with a score of +1.
