SALEM, Va. --- Washington and Lee
University captured its sixth straight Dan Wooldridge Overall
Sports Champion Cup, sponsored by Farm Bureau Insurance
®. The Generals, who were crowned champions in six sports

Commissioner's Cup for the sixth successive time. On the
men's side, Lynchburg College took home the Men's Commissioner
Cup.
Farm Bureau Insurance is the proud sponsor for the Dan Wooldridge
Overall Champions Cup and the Men and Women's Commissioner's
Cups. Farm Bureau and the ODAC continue their partnership in
focusing on the strength of the conference's student-athletes and
maintaining the NCAA Division III philosophy of the complete
student-athlete experience. Aside from supporting the ODAC
Commissioners' Cups, Farm Bureau is the sponsor of the ODAC's
sport-by-sport scholar-athlete awards.
The ODAC Board of Directors voted last spring to change the way in
which the Commissioner's Cup winners are determined. Points
for the Commissioner's Cups are based on regular season standings
in team sports and championship team finishes in individual
sports. Each institution has a total number of possible
points they can collect based on their individual sport
sponsorship. The total number of points earned is then
divided by the total number of possible points in order to come up
with a ranking for each institution.
Washington & Lee won its thirteenth overall sport trophy and
its ninth women's sport trophy since the award's inception in
1994-95. This year, the Generals racked up 139.5 points
out of a total 183.0 possible points for an overall rating of
0.76. Washington and Lee claimed conference championship
titles in golf, women's cross country, swimming, women's tennis,
women's indoor track & field and volleyball. The Generals
