Endicott Finishes 82nd in 2012-13 Director's Cup

CLEVELAND, Ohio-  The National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) released the final standings of the 2012-13 DIII Learfield Sports Director's Cup and Endicott College finished in 82nd place, the school's second highest finish in school history.  The Gulls finished with a total of 217.00 points to finish 82nd and in the top 25% of all 328 DIII schools.

Endicott’s highest finish came in the 2003-04 year when they finished in 71^st.  2012-13 marked the third time the school has finished in the top 100 in Division III and sees Endicott improve upon a 175^th place finish in the 2011-12 season.  This is the school’s first top-100 finish since the 2006-07 season in which the Blue and Green finished 96^th. 

The Gulls led the way for The Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) as they finished nearly twice as high as the next closest school.  Western New England saw 2012-13 end with a 153^rd place finish as they earned 125.00 points.  Rounding out the top three from the conference was Roger Williams as the school earned 101.50 points to place in a tie for 179^th. 

Endicott looks to improve upon this year’s standing in 2013-14 and that all get’s started with men’s soccer on August 30^th as they host the Endicott Invitational.   2012-13 wound up being a banner year for the Gulls as they won six conference titles and the foundation has been laid for a bright future.
