Title: Congratulations To Valpo's Athletic Department...
Post by: vu72 on May 26, 2013, 12:31:49 PM
on yet another outstanding year! Mark LaBarbera and all the coaches and athletes represented Valpo in the finest way and, in the process, again won more titles in revenue sports than any other school.

By "revenue" sports I mean sports where there is an admission cost to see games. I may be wrong but I doubt there is a cost to watch a swim or track meet for example.  Another way to see it would be just the "major" sports.  These sports include Volleyball, Men's and Women's soccer, Men's and Women's basketball, Softball and Baseball.

In all, counting regular season and championship titles, there are a total of 14 in play.  Valpo has won 4 this past year, including two in men's basketball and one each in softball and baseball. CSU and Milwaukee each won 3 and Green Bay 2. None of the other schools had more than 1.

Valpo has now won 10 of 28 over the last 2 years which is far more than anyone else. Throw in an elite 8 performance in bowling last year and a title this year in Men's Golf and by an count it is just outstanding.

Congrats again to all  and let's get some wins in the NCAA baseball tourney!  GO VALPO!!
