Team News - Football Lifts WCU in Learfield Standings

The final Learfield Directors' Cup fall standings for Division II has West Chester University in fourth place with 220.00 points. The Golden Rams were in seventh place with 195.00 points after the first group of fall sports were considered. In those first standings, West Chester earned points from national runner-up men's soccer (90 points), national semi-finalist field hockey (55 points) and women's soccer (50 points). Since the Golden Ram football team qualified for the NCAA tournament, it contributed an additional 25 points to West Chester final fall total of 220.00 points.

Last year, West Chester had its previously highest fall placement at fifth. The Golden Rams' highest end of year placement came in both the 2007-08 and 2006-7 academic years when they finished 12th overall.

The Learfield Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in NCAA Championships.
