Two-time Tewaaraton winner and former Great Danes attackman Lyle Thompson had 48 points at the same juncture of his record-setting 128-point campaign in 2014.

Albany Maintains Commissioner's Cup Lead After Winter Season

BOSTON - After capturing three of the five America East winter championships, Albany has grown its lead in the 2016-17 Commissioner’s Cup standings through the completion of 11 championships. The Great Danes won both the men's and women's indoor track & field titles as well the women's basketball crown to earn 124 winter points and maintain their hold on first place. As they did in the fall, New Hampshire and Stony Brook followed in second and third place, respectively.

The Commissioner’s Cup annually recognizes the strongest athletic program in America East as determined by a scoring system which rewards a school for success both during the regular season and championship competition in the conference’s 17 sports.

The second-place institution receives four less points; third place receives eight less points, and so on. Additionally, the America East (tournament) champion receives two points times the total number of teams participating in the championship. The second-place institution receives two less points; third place receives four less points and so on down to the last-place institution which receives two points.

In sports where regular-season round robin competition is not conducted (cross country, track & field, swimming & diving), the first-place institution at the America East championship receives two points times the total number of teams participating in the championship. The second-place institution receives two less points; third place gets four less points and so on down to the last place team which receives two points.

I saw there is an article in today's TU about the team preparing for tomorrow by practicing against hostile crowd noise. I'm not going to pay to read that article. Anyone here care to summarize the main points? I know Brown has used that tactic a few times in prior years.
