NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- Georgian Court University claimed the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Alfred R. Restaino, Sr., Cup for Women's Sports, as announced on Tuesday by Commissioner Dan Mara. The Lions recorded an average score of 12.9583 in the all-sports competition.
GCU used a trio of CACC championships in the spring to help its cause as the lacrosse, softball and track & field squads hoisted trophies at their respective events. The winter season saw both the basketball and volleyball teams win their respective regular season titles and reach the CACC Final.
Thomas Jefferson University finished second in the standings with a score 11.0000, while Concordia College rounded out the top three of the standings with an average mark of 10.6250. Jefferson won the women's soccer title, while the Clippers claimed the women's tennis championship.
The point system used for the award takes into account each athletic program's finish in both the 2020-21 CACC regular season contests and conference tournaments. Each institution receives a combined point total and the sum is then divided by the number of women's sports the institution competed in during this past season. The award is named after the late Bloomfield College Director of Athletics and Head Coach Alfred R. Restaino, Sr., who served a vital role in not just the school's athletic department but also in the enhancement of the CACC.
Schools that did not compete in at least four women's sports this year were not eligible for the women's Restaino Cup this season.
