UIndy Wins 10th Consecutive GLVC All-Sports Trophy
The University of Indianapolis has earned its 10th-straight Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) All-Sports Trophy, the league office announced on Tuesday.
The Greyhounds totaled 218 points during the 2021-22 academic year, winning by 34 points over second-place Lewis University.
The trophy is UIndy’s 13th in program history, with wins in the 1978-79, 1994-95, and 2002-03 seasons, as well as the past 10 dating back to 2011-12.
The GLVC did not award the All-Sports Trophy in 2019-20 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that suspended spring sports competition that year.
The GLVC All-Sports Trophy is presented to the institution that demonstrates the best all-around performance in the league’s 24 sponsored sports.
Points are allocated based on overall finish in the respective sport’s Conference tournament and league standings.
Led by second-year Vice President of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Young, UIndy captured a league-high five GLVC titles this season to earn top points in men’s soccer, men’s swimming and diving, women’s golf, women’s lacrosse, and women’s tennis.
In addition, the UIndy men each finished runner-up in basketball, golf, tennis, and lacrosse, while the women picked up second-place honors in indoor track and field and softball.
Lewis secured second place by 5.5 points over third-place Drury, tallying 184 total points during the 2021-22 season.
This marks the Flyers fifth consecutive top-five finish and back-to-back runner-up honors.
