Hope College is in first place in the 2022-23 Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Commissioner’s Cup standings after the fall season.
With 62 points from finishes in eight fall sports, Hope is seven points ahead of second-place Calvin University and followed by Trine University (52), Adrian College (45), Albion College (41), Kalamazoo College (32), Alma College (31), Olivet College (22), and Saint Mary’s College (15 from its four fall sports).
The fall update is an unofficial look at the MIAA Commissioner’s Cup standings. The award is based on the cumulative performance of each member school in the league’s 23 sports: 11 in women’s sports and 12 in men’s sports.
Each school counts its top eight finishes by gender. The fall update includes each team’s MIAA finish in four men’s and four women’s sports.
Hope earned MIAA Championships in both men’s golf and women’s cross country. Hope was the regular-season runner-up in men’s cross country, men’s soccer, and volleyball on the way to garnering 62 points through eight fall sports.
In men’s sports, Hope totaled 31 points — 3 ½ more than the next school, Trine University.
In women’s sports, Hope and Calvin both collected 31 points.
Hope has claimed a league-record 38 MIAA Commissioner’s Cups, including the 2021-22 school year.
