North Attleboro, Mass. – After a winter season that saw program best finishes in men's track and field as well as men's swimming and diving, Adelphi University continues to sit in second place in the annual Presidents Cup standings, announced by the league office Tuesday afternoon.
Bentley University continues to hold its lead in the Northeast 10 Conference Presidents Cup standings after a second place finish in men's basketball and a regular season championship in women's basketball.
The NE10 Presidents Cup is presented annually at the conclusion of the academic year, signifying overall athletic excellence in the league. The honor is awarded to the institution that compiles the most cumulative points based on finishes in the regular season standings from all of its programs competing in league championships.
Adelphi, the two-time reigning Presidents Cup champion, earned runner-up finishes in both men's swimming and diving and men's track and field, a fifth place finish in women's track and field as well as postseason berths for both men's and women's basketball.
As a result, the women now hold the no. 3 spot in the Pioneers Cup rankings (awarded for excellence in women's sports). They are just half a point behind Southern Connecticut State and trail Bentley by eight.
On the men's side, the Brown and Gold rank have moved all the way up from fifth in the standings to second place. The Adelphi men trail Bentley by only four points and will look to make up even more ground in the spring.
The Panthers are coming off a 2024-25 campaign where they won both the Presidents Cup and Founders Cup, while Bentley won the Pioneers Cup.
