Peach Belt Conference

North Florida Wins 2003-04 Commissioner's Cup

AUGUSTA, GA -- The University of North Florida won their fifth straight Peach Belt Conference Commissioner's Cup, given to the most successful overall athletic program in the league's 12 championship sports. North Florida athletic director Dr. Richard Gropper was presented with the award recently at the league's annual meeting in Hilton Head, S.C. The Ospreys take home the Cup following one of the most competitive seasons in PBC history and by the narrowest margin in the 13-year history of the league.

North Florida won four PBC Championships, given for regular-season play, during the year in women's cross country, volleyball, baseball and men's tennis. UNF also had second-place finishes (including ties) in women's basketball and women's soccer. Overall, UNF claimed 81% of the places available to them, using the PBC's percentage system for the cup, edging out Kennesaw State who finished 6 one-thousanths of a point behind at .806.

Kennesaw State took home national championships in women's soccer and men's basketball, firsts for the school and the Peach Belt Conference in both sports. The Owls also won PBC titles in softball and men's cross country.
