BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. — For the second year in a row, Frostburg State finished second in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) Commissioner’s Cup standings, as announced on Tuesday.
The University of Charleston sits at the top for the eighth consecutive season, showing an all-sports rating of 0.9594595, topping runner-up Frostburg State (0.6783439) and third-place Fairmont State (0.6416667).
The Commissioner’s Cup standings are compiled using an “all-sports rating.”
This is determined by a formula that awards points to a school for its regular season finish equal to the number of teams per sport sponsored by the MEC, and then divided by the number of sports offered by the institution.
A bonus point is given for winning the conference tournament (in applicable sports).
Out of 21 MEC eligible sports, Frostburg won the women’s lacrosse conference championship and had the highest-scoring in men’s and women’s teams at the Great Midwest Athletic Conference/Mountain East Conference Swimming & Diving Championships.
The Bobcats also finished atop the North Division women’s soccer standings.
Since joining the Division II level and the MEC in 2019, FSU has slowly climbed up the Commissioner’s Cup standings, going from 12th in its inaugural season to ninth, seventh, fourth, and now second the past two seasons.
