VANCOUVER, Wash. - After the completion of fall sports, Lane Community College and Lower Columbia College lead their respective divisions in the first update of the 2023-24 Athletic Director's Cup standings.
A Final Four in women's soccer and an Elite Eight in volleyball have the Devils in position again. LCC is the defending Athletic Directors Cup champions.
The NWAC awards its Athletic Director's Cups (Dr. Maury Ray Cup) to the schools that performs the best in each of the conference's 15 men's and women's championships. Points are awarded in order of finish, equal to the number of teams that participate in each sport (i.e., 28 teams the scale would start at 28) and are averaged between a team's regular season finish and its NWAC championship finish. Teams that do not qualify for a postseason tournament, receive postseason points equal to their regular season finish. Ties are not broken but instead are averaged between the tied teams. Cups will be awarded to winners of two divisions (Large schools-8-15 sports offered, small schools 1-7 sports offered) at the end of the year Hall of Fame Banquet.
