Lock Haven Finishes Fourth in Dixon Trophy Standings

   
 

HARRISBURG, Pa. – Aided by Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships in men’s soccer, men’s cross country and volleyball, Lock Haven University finished fourth in this year’s Dixon Trophy standings, the conference office announced May 17.

LHU finished with 114 points, 21.5 off the pace set by winner Shippensburg University (135.5). Kutztown University (125) took second, while IUP (120.5) was third.

Lock Haven has finished fourth in each of the past two seasons.

The F. Eugene Dixon Trophy is awarded by the PSAC to the member institution whose athletic program earns the best overall finish in conference championships and/or regular-season play. During the course of the academic year, points are awarded based on an institution's finish in the 22 conference sports. Only a school’s best 12 finishes, six men’s and six women’s, are used in the final calculation of the Dixon Trophy standings. The Dixon Trophy is named in honor of F. Eugene Dixon Jr., Chairman of the State System of Higher Education’s Board of Governors.  The first Dixon Trophy was awarded following the 1995-96 academic year.

Sophomore Ryan Blood helped his team to a PSAC Championship.
