Buoyed by a 25-point bump, Saint Leo University moved up to No. 13 in the final fall update of the 2016-17 Division II Learfield Directors’ Cup standings. Saint Leo gained 25 points after its qualification in the 2016 NCAA Division II Women’s Volleyball Championship, finishing the fall season with 171.00 points in the Directors’ Cup standings — the highest ranking of any Sunshine State Conference program; Grand Valley State (Michigan) finished the season atop the Directors’ Cup standings with 350.00 points. The Learfield Directors’ Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution’s finish in NCAA Championships. The next Directors’ Cup standings update is scheduled for March 16.
