SACRAMENTO STATE WOMEN LEADING THE BIG SKY CONFERENCE ALL-SPORTS RACE
4/2/2008
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- With just three remaining Big Sky Conference sports to compete for in the 2007-08 academic year, the Sacramento State women’s program currently sits in first place among the Big Sky’s nine teams in a race for the conference’s all-sports trophy.
The Hornet women lead the conference with an average of 11.6 points per sport through the fall and winter portion of the season, leading Weber State (10.9), Portland State (10.6), Montana (9.3) and Northern Arizona (8.0) to round out the top five.
The three remaining Big Sky women’s sports up for grabs are golf, tennis and outdoor track and field. The Hornets have already clinched the maximum amount of points (12) for tennis as the team is 8-0 and will have the No. 1 seed for the Big Sky Tournament later this month.
In addition, the women’s golf team is looking to repeat as conference champions when it competes in the Big Sky Championships on April 21-23. The women’s track and field team just won the Big Sky indoor title a month ago.
Three fall sports (cross country, soccer and volleyball) and two winter sports (basketball and indoor track and field) are counting toward the current standings. Sacramento State won conference championships in soccer, volleyball and indoor track.
The Sacramento State women finished fourth in last year’s Big Sky all-sports race, and a first-place finish this year would be a first for the program since joining the conference in 1996-97.
