CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Through the completion of fall competition, Coastal Carolina University leads the Big South Conference member institutions in the race for the League’s 2005-06 George F. “Buddy” Sasser Cup Trophy. The Chanticleers have accumulated 64.25 points for the overall lead, ahead of second-place Liberty (53.50) and third-place Winthrop (44.50). Coastal, which has won the last two Sasser Cups, won the women’s cross country title, shared the football championship and captured the men’s soccer tournament championship crown during the fall season.
Winthrop holds third-place by one-point in the standings over fourth-place UNC Asheville (43.50). Following the Bulldogs are High Point (40.50), Birmingham-Southern (38.50), VMI (29.75), Radford (28.00) and Charleston Southern (22.75).
In addition to the overall lead, Coastal Carolina leads both the women’s and men’s All-Sports Award race. Coastal has compiled 35.50 points on the women’s side and 28.75 on the men’s side. UNC Asheville is second in the women’s All-Sports standing at 33.50, just ahead of Liberty (33.00). On the men’s side, VMI is currently second to Coastal Carolina with 21.25 points, ahead of the Flames’ 20.50.
The Sasser Cup Trophy, named for former Big South Commissioner Buddy Sasser, is awarded to the Big South member institution with the most successful year athletically based on a points system. Points are awarded based on both regular-season and tournament finish in each of the League’s 18 championships, based on the number of teams participating in the regular-season and tournament, respectively. A school must be eligible to participate in a specific sport championship to receive Sasser Cup points in that sport. There shall be a weighted factor of 1.5 for those sports that only participate in regular-season play (football) or a tournament (cross country, track, golf), but not both. Teams tied in regular-season or tournament play shall split the points earned.
The current standings for the Sasser Cup and the Women’s and Men’s All-Sports Awards are listed below. The standings are through the Big South’s six fall sport championships.
