UAA lands at #13 in the Learfield Sports Directors' Cup

by Kathleen McCoy  |   

After the completion of six of seven NCAA fall championships at colleges and universities across the country, the point tally is in for the Learfield Cup, and the news is good for UAA. UAA earned a new record in Division II standings by finishing in the top 25 teams -- without even having teams in some sports that counted toward their winning total.

The sports that earned points in the Learfield Cup so far are men's and women's cross country, field hockey, volleyball and men's and women's soccer. No, UAA does not have any soccer or field hockey teams. Despite not earning points in those categories, UAA still earned enough points in its men's and women's cross country and volleyball records to make it into the top 25. That says something impressive about the strength in the three teams we do field!

When Athletic Director Steve Cobb heard the news, he said, "This is a new record for UAA -- despite not having football, field hockey or soccer -- we are ranked #13 in all of Division II for overall athletic success. It is a great day to be a Seawolf!"
