WEXFORD, Pa. - The Saint Vincent College men and Grove City College women each hold narrow leads following the conclusion of the 2011 fall sports season in the race for the 2011-12 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) All-Sports Trophies. The all-sports trophies are awarded annually to the schools which perform the best across the board in league competition. First-place finishes are worth 10 points (nine for men), second place is worth nine points (eight for men) ... last place is worth one point.

On the men's side, the Bearcats rode a PAC title in cross country and a tie for second place in football to finish with 20 points, just ahead of Thomas More (19) and followed by Geneva (18.5), Grove City (16.5), Washington & Jefferson (16), Waynesburg (14), Bethany (10.5), Westminster (10.5) and Thiel (10). Washington & Jefferson has won or shared the last seven PAC Men's All-Sports Trophy titles.

The women's race saw Grove City use its PAC fall championships in tennis and cross country to record 31 points, just ahead of Westminster (29) and followed by Bethany (26), Waynesburg (25.5), Geneva (25), Thomas More (23.5), Saint Vincent (23), Washington & Jefferson (16.5), Thiel (14.5) and Chatham (6). Grove City broke Westminster's four-year hold on the PAC Women's All-Sports Trophy title in 2010-11.

Founded in 1955, the Presidents' Athletic Conference continues its mission of promoting intercollegiate athletics and the pursuit of academic excellence. Consisting of 10 select private institutions in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Kentucky, the PAC remains a unique organization in this day of high pressure intercollegiate athletics. With academics at the center of each member's philosophy, the PAC is built on the principle that an athletic program is a part of college life, but not an entity in itself. The PAC annually crowns champions in 19 sports (10 men, nine women).
