FSU finishes third in MEC Commissioner's Cup

FROSTBURG — Frostburg State finished third in the Mountain East Conference (MEC) Commissioner’s Cup standings.

For the ninth consecutive year, the University of Charleston won the trophy, with Glenville State placing second.

The Bobcats won the MEC women’s swimming championship, both the women’s lacrosse regular and tournament titles, and were co-champions of the North Division in baseball.

The football team shared the MEC conference title and reached the quarterfinals of the Division II playoffs.

The Commissioner’s Cup standings are compiled using an “all-sports rating.” This rating 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.

The final rating is a percentage of points acquired against the number of points available (average percentile finish in the standings of each sport sponsored by an institution). A bonus point is given for winning the conference tournament (in applicable sports).
