Armstrong Wins 2011-12 PBC Commissioner's Cup
HILTON HEAD, SC -- A record-setting athletic season has resulted
in Armstrong Atlantic State receiving their first-ever PBC
Commissioner’s Cup, presented at the league’s annual
meetings in Hilton Head on Tuesday night. The award is
presented annually to the best overall athletic department in the
league, as determined by regular-season standings. A founding
member of the Peach Belt, the 2011-12 Commissioner’s Cup is
the first in school history.
Armstrong set a league record this season by winning seven
regular-season championships. The Pirates began the year with
the women’s soccer crown followed by a co-Championship in
volleyball. Armstrong flexed their true muscle in the spring,
winning league titles in baseball, softball, men’s tennis,
women’s tennis and women’s golf. The previous
record of PBC titles was five, set twice before. Even with
those titles, the Pirates just edged out Columbus State, who
finished second despite not winning a title this year, but
finishing in the top four in seven sports. Clayton State was
third in the standings after winning the women’s basketball
title and finishing second in women’s cross country.
The PBC Commissioner’s Cup is determined by calculating the
number of points possible to each school, given the number of
sports they participate in, divided by the number of points earned
during the year. Points are determined by placement in the
final regular-season standings of each of the PBC’s 13
championship sports.
