AUGUSTA, Ga. | With all of the league’s fall sports completed, the University of North Georgia holds the lead in the Peach Belt Conference Commissioner’s Cup standings, announced on Wednesday morning by the league office. The Nighthawks earned 31.5 out of a possible 36 total points for an .875 percentage, nearly 100 points higher than second-place Flagler College. Augusta University is in third with Columbus State fourth and Montevallo fifth.

PBC Commissioner’s Cup ratings are determined by taking the maximum number of points available to each school, depending on how many sports each has, and dividing by the number of points won, based on conference finish through the regular season (except golf and cross country which are based on championship results).

The Commissioner’s Cup will be presented to the best overall athletic program at the league’s annual meetings in late May.

North Georgia finished no lower than second in any of the three PBC fall championships they compete in. The women’s soccer team was tied for second in the regular-season standings while the men’s soccer team had their best finish in the PBC in a three-way tie for second. The women’s cross country team also turned in a second-place finish at the PBC Championships.

A year ago, UNG was atop the standings following the fall of 2015, but slid to an overall finish of a tie for sixth out of 14 schools.

In 2014-15, UNG finished third in the PBC Commissioner’s Cup standings, marking the highest in school history for the 13-sport Nighthawk athletic department since becoming full-fledged members in the 2005-06 season.
