Notre Dame men’s athletics win third Capital One Cup

Congrats, Notre Dame!

The Capital One Cup demonstrates greatness of a university’s athletic department. Each year, it is given out on both the men’s and women’s side. Notre Dame has captured the men’s award for the second time in three years and third time overall. Former lacrosse player [autotag]Pat Kavanaugh[/autotag] was on hand at this year’s ESPYS to acknowledge the victory:

At 103 points, Notre Dame finished well ahead of second-place Michigan (90 points) in the men’s standings. The national-championship lacrosse team got the most points with 60. The soccer team, the College Cup runner-up, earned 30 points, and the fencing team, another national-championship runner-up, got six points. Rounding out the scoring was the swimming and diving team, which earned a single point for playing 10th at the national meet.

This should serve as a reminder that although football is Notre Dame’s biggest sport by far, the university strives for athletic success across the board. Congratulations to the programs that made this honor possible.

Gators claim third Men’s Capital One Cup

The Florida Gators finished on top of the 2022-23 Men’s Capital One Cup standings following a deep run at the College World Series.

The University of Florida won the 2022-23 Men’s Capital One Cup following the conclusion of the college baseball season, finishing with 91 points.

Stanford (83), Georgia (80), Penn State (75.5) and Virginia (71) round out the top five. Florida’s win ties the program with Stanford for the most all-time at three apiece. The two schools are the only ones to win both at least one men’s and one women’s title over 13 years.

Gators Athletics receives a donation of $250,000 from Capital One for athletic scholarships for winning.

Florida’s 91 points stem from national championships in golf and outdoor track and field. Each championship netted 20 points, and Florida’s second-place finish in the USA TODAY/ESPN Coaches Poll in baseball added another 36. A third-place finish in indoor track and field counts for 10 points, and the swimming and diving team’s sixth-place finish at the NCAA Championships brings in the final five.

The Gators finished tied for 14th in the women’s standings with South Carolina.
