MIT Finishes 11th in Directors’ Cup Rankings
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Coming on the heels of
one of the most successful campaigns in Institute history, MIT
placed 11th among all Division III schools in the National
Association of College Directors of Athletics (NACDA) annual
Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. This was the highest ranking
for the Engineers in the 14-year history of the program and the
first time they were the best performers in the New England
Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC).
The Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup honors institutions
maintaining a broad-based program, achieving success in many
sports, both men’s and women’s, at NCAA Championship
events. At the Division III level, the following sports are
factored into the calculation of the rankings: baseball,
basketball, cross country, fencing, field hockey, football, golf,
ice hockey, lacrosse, women’s rowing, skiing, soccer,
softball, swimming and diving, tennis, indoor and outdoor track and
field, women’s volleyball, women’s water polo, and
wrestling.
