TOWSON, Md. --- After winning three Landmark Conference championships this spring and having another two teams reach the postseason, the Moravian College Greyhounds jumped from fifth place after the winter to second in the final 2014-15 Landmark Conference Presidents' Trophy standings.

Moravian finished the year with a score of 8.06, finishing just 0.02 behind The Catholic University of America. The strong spring surge moved the Greyhounds ahead of The University of Scranton, Elizabethtown College and Susquehanna University in the standings. The rest of the conference includes Juniata College, the United States Merchant Marine Academy, Drew University and Goucher College. Moravian captured the first two Landmark President's Cups in 2007-08 and 2008-09, and Moravian also had the top spot in 2010-11.

The Presidents' Trophy was created in the inaugural year of the conference to recognize the best overall athletics program. The Trophy is awarded based on a formula that rewards institutions for regular season conference standings as well as results in Landmark postseason competition.

The point structure was revised last summer with different point hierarchies for team and individual sports, but the maximum number of points any team can earn is 14. The total number of points each institution earns is divided by the number of Landmark sports sponsored to determine the average.
