2023-24 Sasser Cup Standings See Highlanders In Third Following Fall Season

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Big South Conference revealed a first look at the 2023-24 Sasser Cup standings on Wednesday, with the Radford Highlanders checking in at third overall, averaging 6.20 points.

In the women's all-sports standings Radford is currently in second place averaging 7.17 points thanks to high finishes by women's soccer (10.0), women's cross country (7.0). For the men's all-sports standings, Radford currently sits in fifth averaging 4.75 points led by men's cross country's (6.0) strong finish at the conference championships.

Radford women's soccer became the departments' highest point-earner thanks to a second consecutive and ninth overall Big South Championship. The top-seeded Highlanders earned 2-1 victories over No. 4 Charleston Southern in the semifinals and No. 2 USC Upstate to bring home another trophy and punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament where they faced off with the Clemson Tigers.

The women's and men's cross country programs also had another great fall season to contribute to the Highlanders' standing. The women's cross country team placed third at the Big South Championship while the men's cross country team crossed the finish line in fourth.

The Sasser Cup Trophy is named for former Big South Commissioner Buddy Sasser (1989-96) and is awarded to the Big South member institution with the most successful year athletically, based on an average points system. Points are awarded for both regular-season and tournament finishes in each of the League's 19 championships, and the average of the combined total is used to determine the overall point allocation in the respective sport.
