Penn State Behrend Earns Seventh Presidents' Cup in Eight Years
Once
again the
Penn State Behrend Lions have claimed the 2007-08 AMCC Presidents'
Cup for the seventh time in its eight year history.
The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference's ten schools compete for points in thirteen men's and women's sports, with points accumulated for each team's finish during the AMCC regular season. The award is presented annually to the conference member with the most successful overall program in AMCC competition.
Behrend's total of 99.5 points outpaced second-place Penn State Altoona by more than 24 points. Frostburg State, who finished third this year won the cup back in 2003-04 and is the only other team besides Behrend to have won it since the AMCC began awarding this honor eight years ago. Rounding out the standings were Lake Erie (68), Medaille (65), Pitt-Greensburg (56.5), Pitt-Bradford (48.5), La Roche (45.5), Mt. Aloysius (27.5), and Hilbert (21.5).
The Behrend Lions won an amazing ten of thirteen regular-season championships. The blue and white captured regular-season titles in baseball, men's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, softball, men's and women's swimming and diving, and men's tennis.
