UMW Leads CAC All-Sports Award Standings Through Fall Sports
YORK, Pa. — Only seven
points seperate the top three teams after the fall sports season in
the chase for the Capital Athletic Conference’s 2012-13
Richard C. Cook All-Sports Award, but the change at the top shows
Mary Washington leading two of the three categories after the
completion of the six of 21 championship sports.
UMW leads the Richard
C. Cook All-Sports Award standings with 46.50 points, followed
closely by Salisbury (41.00) and York (39.50). Through the
fall season, St. Mary’s (24.50) gained a slim lead over
Frostburg State (23.00) for fourth place, followed by Marymount
(16.00) and Wesley (11.00).
Mary Washington won two
fall sports championships and advanced to the championship game in
two more sports to lead the CAC after the fall season. The
Eagles took top honors in field hockey, advancing all the way to
the NCAA Final Four, and women’s cross country while the
men’s soccer and men’s cross country teams earned
second-place finishes. UMW’s 32.50 points in the
women’s sports standings is also the standard-bearer and the
Eagles are second in the men’s standings with 14.00
points.
Salisbury, the
seven-time defending All-Sports Award champion, is second in both
the overall and women’s standings (29.00) while ranking third
in the men’s standings. The Sea Gulls captured the
regular-season and post-season volleyball championship and advanced
to the NCAA Elite Eight. SU was among the top three in all
five other fall sports.
Two-time defending
Men’s Commissioner’s Award winner York captured both
men’s fall sports championships - soccer and cross country -
to take the early lead in that category. The Spartans, who
also posted a second-place finish in women’s cross country,
are third in the overall standings and the women’s standings
(19.50).
St. Mary’s and
Frostburg State are battling for fourth and fifth place in all
three categories.
SMC tied UMW and
Marymount for second place in the volleyball regular season
standings, helping the Seahawks gain the edge in the overall and
women’s standings (18.00). The Seahawks also posted
their highest finish in team history at the men’s cross
country championships.
Frostburg State
captured top honors in women’s soccer for the first time
since joining the CAC and placed third in men’s soccer to
keep pace with SMC. FSU is fourth in the men’s
standings (8.00) and fifth in the overall and women’s
standings.
Marymount emerged from
the three-way tie in volleyball to advance to the CAC championship
match, earning second place points in the overall and women’s
standings. The Saints are in second place in the overall and
men’s standings, and share sixth place in the women’s
standings with Wesley (each with 11 points). The Wolverines
were strong again in field hockey, advancing to the CAC
Championship game for the third-straight season.
