Northeast-10 Conference Presidents' Cup standings

MANSFIELD, Mass. (December 18, 2019) – Following what was a wildly successful fall season for the Franklin Pierce University athletics teams, the Ravens are tied for fourth in the Northeast-10 Conference Presidents’ Cup standings heading into the semester break, as announced earlier by the league office. Franklin Pierce trails first-place Southern New Hampshire by less than 15 points.

The NE10 Presidents' Cup is presented annually at the conclusion of the academic year, signifying overall athletic excellence in the league. The honor is awarded to the institution that compiles the most cumulative points based on finishes in the regular season standings from all of its programs competing in league championships.

Franklin Pierce got big points from its women’s golf team, which captured the NE10 title, while men’s soccer added a second-place finish in the league standings. With a fourth-place finish on the men’s side and a program-best six-place finish on the women’s side, Ravens cross country was responsible for adding significant points to the total as well. Returns to the NE10 postseason for both field hockey and volleyball helped from a depth perspective, as did a first-ever postseason appearance for women’s tennis, while men’s golf chipped in a fourth-place finish.

It all added up to 73.5 points for the Ravens, which was good enough to tie for fourth with Assumption. Southern New Hampshire (86 points) leads the way following the fall season, while Stonehill (82.5 points) sits second and Adelphi (75 points) is third.
