Behrend Earns Eighth Presidents' Cup in Nine Years

The Penn State Behrend Lions have claimed the 2008-09 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Presidents' Cup for the eighth time in its nine year history.  Penn State Behrend Chancellor, Dr. Jack Burke and Director of Athletics, Brian Streeter are presented with the Presidents' Cup by the AMCC at the league meetings this past May.

The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference's ten schools compete for points in thirteen men's and women's sports, with points accumulated for each team's finish during the AMCC regular season. The award is presented annually to the conference member with the most successful overall program in AMCC competition.

Behrend Lions finished with 101.5 points en route to another Presidents' Cup trophy.  Runners up were Frostburg State University with 86 points and one championship, and Penn State Altoona with 83 points and two championships.  Rounding out the standings were Pitt-Greensburg, Medaille, Pitt-Bradford, La Roche, Mt. Aloysius, Franciscan, and Hilbert.

After winning an amazing ten of thirteen regular-season championships last season, the blue and white captured seven team titles in baseball, men's cross country, softball, men's and women's swimming, and men's and women's tennis.
