May 14, 2008
Tucker, GA – The men of Morehouse College and the women of Albany State University captured the SIAC All-Sports Award for the 2007-08 season. This award is Albany State Women’s fifth consecutive SIAC Commissioner’s All-Sports Award and Morehouse’s second in the last five years.
In the women’s competition Albany State tallied 44 points after winning conference titles in cross country, volleyball, softball and track & field. They also finished 3rd in tennis. Since the restart of the Commissioner’s Cup in 2003 Albany State has won five consecutive awards. Tuskegee University made a  strong push for the title but finished second in the conference competition compiling 27 points. Tuskegee finished first in basketball and tennis, second in cross country. Clark Atlanta University wrapped up a third place finish compiling 19 points after a second place finish in track & field, and third place finishes in cross country, softball and volleyball. Benedict College (18 points), Miles College (7 points), Kentucky State University (7 points) and Fort Valley State University (4 points) rounded out the scoring.
For the men’s competition Morehouse College just pulled away from Tuskegee to finish in first with 34 points. Morehouse took home conference titles in track & field and Cross Country and second in tennis and golf, en route to their championship. Morehouse wins their first outright title in the last five years. They tied with Albany State in 2005-06. Tuskegee finished in second place with 27 points after finishing first in football and tennis and second in basketball. Benedict finished in third place with 21 points largely in part to their first place finish in basketball. Albany State University (18), Paine College (17), Stillman College (10), Fort Valley State University (8), and Kentucky State University (8) rounded out the scoring.
A scoring system of 10 points for 1st place, 7 points for 2nd place and 4 points for 3rd place is used to determine the All-Sports Standings for the SIAC 12-member institutions. Football is determined by their finish in the regular season. The Men’s & Women’s Basketball tournament is not double elimination and does not offer a consolation game.
