ALL-SPORTS TROPHY HISTORY | WOMEN'S ALL-SPORTS TROPHY RELEASE
BIDDEFORD, Maine – The men's athletics programs at Endicott captured three Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Championships and finished as the runner-up in two other conference postseason tournaments to help them earn an 8.44 points per sport average and win the 2021-22 CCC Men's All-Sports Trophy. This year is the first time the trophy has been awarded since 2018-19 due to limited competition during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In total, the Gulls earned 76 points, while competing in nine conference sports. They received 10 points each for their CCC title-winning seasons in football, baseball and golf, while earning nine points apiece in ice hockey and lacrosse as the CCC Tournament runner-up.
Endicott started the Men's All-Sports trophy chase in third place following fall championships, helped primarily by its CCC Football title. The Gulls jumped up to second after the winter following their ice hockey team's trip to the CCC Tournament final. Their spring championships in baseball and golf, along with their runner-up finish in lacrosse, were enough to lift them to the title in the final standings. This is the fifth Men's CCC All-Sports Trophy for Endicott since the award's inception in 2013-14.
Roger Williams finished second in the year's men's competition with 7.31 points per sport. The Hawks were the men's leaders after winter championships.
Salve Regina had its best Men's All-Sports Trophy finish this year as the Seahawks placed third in the final standings, jumping up from fourth place after the winter. They had 6.88 points per sport.
Suffolk participated in its first All-Sports Trophy competition in 2021-22 and set a high-mark by finishing fourth on the final table. The Rams earned 51 points this year across eight sports for a 6.38 average. They were also the inaugural CCC Men's Track and Field Champions, earning them 10 points in the All-Sports Trophy race.
Rounding out the top five was Nichols, which jumped two spots after finishing in a tie for seventh following winter championships. The Bison had a strong spring with a CCC Tournament Championship in tennis and a runner-up finish in golf. They had 63.5 points over 10 sports for a 6.35 average.
Western New England placed sixth in the Men's All-Sports Trophy standings for 2021-22. The Golden Bears earned 56 points in nine sports for a 6.22 average. That number was boosted by the 10 points WNE earned in the spring as the CCC Men's Lacrosse Tournament Champions.
Closing out the 2021-22 Men's All-Sports Trophy competition in order were Gordon (5.81 points/sport), the University of New England (5.14), Wentworth (4.61), and Curry (3.93).

ABOUT THE ALL-SPORTS TROPHY
The All-Sports Trophies have been awarded annually since 2013-14 to the schools that perform the best across the board in league competition.
In each sport, points are awarded based on CCC championship and CCC runner-up finishes in the conference tournament followed by the regular-season finish of the remaining teams. The CCC Tournament Champion receives 10 points and the CCC Tournament runner-up receives nine points.
The regular-season finish of the remaining teams is used to determine the number of points awarded to each of those programs. The team with the highest regular-season finish, excluding the Tournament Champion and runner-up, receives eight points with the next team down receiving seven points. The process continues until all teams have been awarded points. In the event of a tie, each tied team receives the average of the sum of the spots for which they are competing.
After the total points are calculated, points are then divided by the number of CCC sports that each school sponsors to arrive at an average score.
For sports that do not conduct a conference tournament, each team's place in the final regular-season standings or finish at the championship event are used to determine the allocation of points. Associate members are not eligible to earn points in the All-Sports trophy standings, but their finish is considered when determining the allocation of points for full members.
Starting in the 2017-18 academic year, the awarding procedure was amended so that any sport in which at least five core CCC members compete against each other in the same conference (even if that conference is not the CCC) would receive points in the All-Sports Trophy standings.
