Somerset, NJ -- For the second straight year and fourth time in the award’s history, Monmouth is the winner of the Northeast Conference Commissioner’s Cup, as announced by NEC Commissioner John Iamarino this afternoon. Monmouth also concluded the year as the men’s Cup champion, while St. Francis (PA) claimed the women’s Cup award.
Monmouth’s outstanding year included NEC titles in men’s and women’s indoor track and field and men’s outdoor track and field. The Hawks also earned a share of the NEC football crown, finished tied for first place in women’s lacrosse and won the regular season men’s basketball championship.
With 199.11 points, Monmouth outdistanced second place St. Francis (PA) by nearly 13 points as the Red Flash recorded their fourth consecutive top-three Cup finish with 186.53 points. Quinnipiac, which has slowly climbed the chart since joining the league in 1998, came in third with 177.70 points in its best-ever finish in the Cup standings. Long Island placed fourth (174.41 points), followed by Sacred Heart (167.50) in fifth and Robert Morris (166.82) in sixth.
"We are excited to be recognized as the best overall program in the Northeast Conference," said Dr. Marilyn McNeil, Monmouth Director of Athletics. "This award pays tribute to the great effort all of our coaches and student-athletes have put forward this year."
The NEC Commissioner’s Cup was instituted during the 1986-87 season with Long Island winning the inaugural award. Fairleigh Dickinson leads all NEC schools with six Cups to its credit. Cup points are awarded in each NEC sponsored sport. For men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, women’s volleyball, football, softball, field hockey, women’s lacrosse and baseball, the final regular season standings are used to determine Cup points. In all other sports, points are awarded based on the finish at NEC Championship events.
