BURNSVILLE, Minn. – Minnesota State earned the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) All-Sports Award for the sixth time since joining the league in 2008 and for the second year in a row. The Mavericks amassed 198 points to finish 11.5 points ahead of second place Augustana University. MSU has now earned the all-sports award in 2008-09, 2009-10, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2017-18 and 2018-19. Augustana, Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State and Winona State remain the only institutions to earn the award in its 20-year history.
Since 2017-18, the NSIC recognizes an overall champion along with a men’s and a women’s champion. Minnesota State also earned the men’s award as it scored 90.5 points while Augustana earned the women’s award by scoring 112 points. The Mavericks and Vikings will be presented their awards on Tuesday, July 9 at the NSIC Hall of Fame Banquet in Lakeville, Minnesota.
Minnesota State won four regular-season titles during the 2018-19 academic year, including co-football, men’s indoor track & field, women’s golf, and men’s outdoor track & field.
The NSIC All Sports Award is calculated by awarding the winner of each conference-sponsored championship points totaling the number of teams in that sport plus one. The next place finisher receives points totaling the number of teams less the number of places from first place. Ties in the standings at any level result in the totaling of points and equal distribution.
