Redhawks Take Second Place in ECC Commissioner's Cup Standings

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – For the third straight year, Roberts Wesleyan placed second in the East Coast Conference Commissioner's Cup standings.

The Redhawks finished the year with 86.5 points, which was just two points behind LIU Post, who have now captured the award for the fourth consecutive time. The two-point margin is the closest Roberts Wesleyan has finished behind the Pioneers as the previous two years have been 10.5 and 6.5 points respecitvely.

Roberts Wesleyan racked up the most conference titles as the Redhawks defended their six ECC championships in men's and women's cross country, men's and women's indoor track & field, and men's and women's outdoor track & field.

In the fall, the women's soccer team advanced to the NCAA tournament after reaching the ECC Championship game as women's basketball also reached the conference tournament title game this past winter.

The ECC Commissioner's Cup
The East Coast Conference Commissioner's Cup is emblematic of the league's top program across its 18 championship sports. A new scoring system was established in 2013-14 to further reward programs that succeed in both regular-season and post-season play. The scoring system works as follows:

• Points for the number of schools whose teams compete for the post-season championship are split between the team that finishes in that place during the year and the team that finishes in that place in the championship.
• If a team is eliminated in the semi-finals or quarterfinals, its place is determined by its finish during the regular season.
• A school which does not sponsor a sport receives 0 points for that sport.
• Highest point total for each sport is the number of schools that sponsor that given sport
• For Cross Country and Track & Field, championship meet finish is utilized.
• Example: Team A wins regular season, finishes second in tournament: (11 10) / 2 = 10.5 points
• Example: Team B finishes fourth in regular season, wins tournament: 8 11 / 2 = 9.5 points
