SAN BRUNO, Calif. — The final standings for the WCC Women's All-Sports Award, Men's All-Sports Award, and Commissioner's Cup have been released this morning. Saint Mary's finished second in the Men's All-Sports Award race, while finishing fifth in the Women's All-Sports Award and Commissioner Cup standings. This is just the Gaels second time over the past five years finishing in the top-five in the overall Commissioner's Cup standings, and their highest men's finish since 2017. Here is a look at the overall standings:
Commissioner's Cup
Women's All-Sports Award
Men's All-Sports Award
On the men's side, the Gaels climbed from a fourth place finish last year, to second play this year. This was due in big part to conference titles won by Men's Basketball and Baseball, as well as top five WCC finishes from Men's Cross Country, Men's Tennis, and Golf. In total, the men's programs of Saint Mary's finished the year with a combined record of 76-59-6, and won two conference championships for the first time since the 2015-16 academic year.
For the women, the Gaels picked up just their third top five finish in the past decade. Paced by a conference title from Softball, a third place finish from Beach Volleyball, the Gaels women finished with a combined overall record of 84-94-3, and picked up at least one conference title in back to back years for the first time in program history.
On another extremely successful year, Saint Mary's Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Mike Matoso noted:
"The continued success of Saint Mary's athletic success has clearly been on display in the 2024-25 academic year. We surpassed the 150 win mark for the second consecutive year, and saw three different programs hoist WCC title trophies for the first time since 2015-16, and just the fourth time in program history. I am extremely proud of all of our student-athletes, coaches and support staff that made this season such an incredible success!"
