The Numbers Are Staggering
While you were away on Spring Break the Eph athletes were busy wrapping up a great winter season, training for, and beginning their spring seasons and along the way they racked up some impressive numbers.
At winter’s end the Ephs are back on top in the Directors’ Cup standings and will take a 55.5-point lead into the spring championship season. NESCAC has three teams in the top five with Williams first, Middlebury 2nd and Amherst 5th. This marks the 11th time in 16 years the Ephs have led the competition at the end of the winter. Williams has won the last 12 Directors’ Cups in a row and 14 of the 15 awarded.
