NEW HAVEN, Conn. (April 2, 2024) – Post University leads the men’s standings following the winter athletics season in the race for the 2024-25 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Alfred R. Restaino Sr. Cup, CACC Commissioner Dan Mara announced today.
The Restaino Cup is handed out based on institutions’ performances across all CACC championship sports, with one Cup awarded for each gender. The point system used considers each program’s finish in both the 2024-25 regular-season standings and conference championship tournaments. Each school’s point total is compared to the number of points it was possible for it to earn, and the standings are based on that percentage.
The award is named after the late Bloomfield College coach and director of athletics Alfred R. Restaino Sr., who served a vital role not only in the development of Bloomfield’s athletics department, but in the enhancement of the CACC. Restaino was inducted into the CACC Hall of Fame in 2015.
Post has earned 68.27 percent of possible points over the fall and winter seasons. The Eagles won the CACC regular-season title in soccer and reached the championship final in both soccer and basketball.
Wilmington, last year’s winner, has claimed 66.35 percent of available points and is in second place in the winter standings, powered by a conference championship in cross-country. Caldwell, the second-place team in cross-country last fall, sits third at 60.00 percent.
Wilmington has won the men’s Restaino Cup following 14 of the last 15 academic years.
