Clippers Place in Top Half of Directors' Cup

Learfield Sports Directors' Cup - Final Division II Standings

Bronxville, NY - Concordia College athletic teams placed in the top half of all Division II institutions across the country in the 2008-2009 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup. The winning institutions in each NCAA Division will take home the trophy in the 44^th annual National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Convention on Saturday, June 20^th in Orlando, FL.

What began as a joint initiative between USA Today and NACDA in 1993 has grown into a highly recognized mark of distinction among collegiate institutions through a point system that awards a respective institution points based on its national finish in an NCAA or NAIA championship. Four all-sports champions receive the top honor each year in the NCAA Divisions I, II and III and the NAIA.  The winner in each division receives a Directors' Cup crystal trophy.

The Clippers finished with a rank of No. 125 out of a total of 282 NCAA Division II schools, 2^nd amongst Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference members (Philadelphia University received 180 points). Concordia finished with a total of 156 points. The men's tennis team earned 83 points with their NCAA Division II Men's Tennis Semi-Final appearance and the women's tennis team received 73 points with their NCAA Division II Women's Tennis Quarter-Final appearance.
