share of President's Cup
 Fayetteville,
NC
-
Following the
conclusion of 2009-2010 USA South competition, the standings
for the Overall, Men's and Women's President's Cups have
been determined. The 2009-2010 season is the fifth year the
USA South has presented three Cups, and although Christopher
Newport University has claimed all three cups for the fourth
consecutive year, the Captains will share this season's
Men's Cup with the Battling Bishops of North Carolina
Wesleyan. The Bishops earned the institution's first-ever
recognition after capturing a league-best four USA South
Regular Season Championships.
North
Carolina Wesleyan earned the institution's first-ever
President's Cup thanks to the stellar performances of their
men's programs this season. The Battling Bishops captured
four conference regular season men's championships
(football, men's basketball, baseball, & men's tennis) and
finished as the runner-up in one other men's sport, soccer.
Wesleyan's men's golf team placed fifth in the USA South
Tournament to help secure the shared title. As a overall
program, the Bishops placed third with volleyball's regular
season runner-up finish highlighting the women's side.
The USA South
Athletic Conference President's Cup symbolizes the league's
top men's and women's athletic program each year. The
President's Cup is awarded by a points system where the
first place team in each sport will be awarded the number of
points that corresponds to the number of schools that
sponsor teams in that sport. The second place team receives
one point less than the first place team and so on, down to
one point for the last place team that competes.
