USI the GLVC's top 2003-04 program
 |
The University of Southern
Indiana Department of Athletics is the top program in the GLVC after
sweeping both the All-Sports Trophy and the Commissioner's Cup in 2003-04.
This is the first All-Sports championship for USI since 1993-94.
The Screaming Eagles won the All-Sports Trophy by nine points, the largest
margin of victory since Lewis edged USI by 9.5 points in 1986-87. In the
23-year history of the trophy, USI has finished first three times (2003-04,
1993-94, 1982-83), second nine times, third once, and fourth three times.
USI also won the Commissioners Cup by three points over Lewis University and
became the first GLVC institution to win both awards. Northern Kentucky
University won the first-ever Commissioner's Cup in 2002-03.
Consistency was the key in the Eagles winning both trophies. The 15
individual programs averaged between a third- and fourth-place finish with
two conference championships (men's and women's cross country), five
second-place finishes (men's basketball, soccer, and tennis; women's golf
and volleyball), and three third-place showings (men's golf and women's
softball and tennis).
"This is an outstanding achievement for our student-athletes, coaches, and
staff," said USI Director of Athletics Jon Mark Hall. "From an
athletic standpoint, this was a high priority this year, our programs were
consistently competing for conference championships, and the results show
that consistency.
"There are many great athletic programs in our league, and these awards
speak volumes to the commitments our University and the City of Evansville
have established. We hope to continue making progress and start winning
awards such as these at the national level. Athletics has made great strides
over the last few years to help put each of our programs in a position to
compete at the national level."
USI Athletics received the trophies at the GLVC Banquet May 26 in
Indianapolis.
