UNCG women second, men third in SoCon all-sports races

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – UNCG remains in contention in the Southern Conference all-sports races for both the men’s and women’s sports, as UNCG’s women are tied for second in the league and the men are third after the winter season of competition.

In the race for the Commissioner’s Cup, UNCG’s men climbed one spot from the fall standings and now have 42 points to sit third behind Chattanooga (50 points). Appalachian State added an indoor track and field title to its two from the fall to increase its point total to 60 and its lead to 10 points.

The Spartan women, who led the Germann Cup standings after a strong fall that saw UNCG win regular-season and tournament titles in women’s soccer, are tied with Appalachian State for second in the standings with 46.5 points. Samford, which won the women’s basketball tournament title, is first with 49 points.
