NSIC All-Sports Standings Release
The Upper Iowa Athletics Department climbed three spots this year in the NSIC All-Sports Standings. The Peacocks ranked 6th this year, only five points away from 4th place U-Mary and four and a half points away from 5th place MSU Moorhead. Upper Iowa's success is due, in large part, to its three NSIC Championships in Wrestling, Women's Tennis, and Women's Golf. But 6th place could not have been attained without Baseball (2nd), Women's Soccer (3rd), and Men's Golf (3rd), who all had very successful seasons as well. The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference release can be found below. ________________________________________________________________________ St. Paul, Minn. -- Winona State University captured the 2007-08 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) All-Sports Award with 94 points, 15.5 points ahead of second-place Wayne State College who finished with 78.5 points.
