Drury University's athletics squads have combined to finish third in both the 14-team Great Lakes Valley Conference All-Sports and Commissioner's Cup competitions for the 2007-08 year, the league announced Thursday.
The DU teams amassed 125.0 points to finish behind only SIU Edwardsville (136.0) and Northern Kentucky (133.5) in the All-Sports competition, in which points are allocated based upon on overall finish in the league's standings or the respective sport's league championship tournament for the 17 GLVC-sponsored sports.
SIUE had five team championships and eight top-three finishes overall, including a sweep of the GLVC men's and women's indoor track and field and men's and women's outdoor track and field titles.
Drury had five league championships for 2007-08, those coming in women's soccer, men's and women's basketball and men's and women's tennis.
Northern Kentucky won the Commissioner's Cup for the top finish, for a league-best fourth time, in the GLVC's seven "core" sports - men's and women's soccer, volleyball, men's and women's basketball, softball and baseball.
