NEW YORK | Winners of nine of the 19 Skyline Conference championships during the 2022-23 academic year, the United States Merchant Marine Academy is the winner of the 2022-23 Presidents Cup.
The award measures all-sports excellence in league competition. A school earns points toward the Presidents Cup based upon the conference finish in each sport in which it competes.
The Mariners take home the prestigious honor for a second straight year and for the fourth straight time. USMMA previously won back-to-back cups in 2018 and 2019 prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, when the award was last presented before last year. Farmingdale State also repeats as the runner up, while Manhattanville College comes in third for the second consecutive year, too.
The Mariners won a league-best nine Skyline crowns for a rating percentage of .849 (109.5 out of a possible 129 points).
Farmingdale State (.780) is the runner up after winning five championships, while Manhattanville (.724) completes the top three after winning two of its own. St. Joseph's-Long Island, which also won two conference titles, finishes fourth in the standings. Maritime (.622) rounds out the top five.
For each sport, the maximum number of points an institution can earn is equal to the number of teams competing in that sport. For sports with regular-season and conference tournament play, a school receives points based upon an average of the regular-season and conference tournament finishes. For sports with only conference championships, the finish in the championship determines the Presidents Cup points. An overall rating is generated for each school which is a percentage of total points earned divided by total possible points for that member school.
