UCCS athletics matched the \"UCCS-Mountain-Lion-Logo\"<\/a>best finish in school history with a sixth-place finish in the 2012-13 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference\u00a0 All-Sport Competition Cup announced May 15 by the conference office.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time the Mountain Lions have finished higher than No. 10 in the last 10 years and it matched the finish from the 1998-99 season.<\/p>\n

UCCS scored 652.5 points and was led by an RMAC championship in men\u2019s golf. The Mountain Lions also recorded top-five conference finishes in men\u2019s and women\u2019s cross country, men\u2019s and women\u2019s soccer, volleyball and women\u2019s basketball. UCCS also scored points in the core sport of men\u2019s basketball and the wildcard sports of softball and men\u2019s outdoor track and field.<\/p>\n

The RMAC All-Sport Competition Cup uses finishes from four core sports of football or men\u2019s soccer, volleyball and men\u2019s and women\u2019s basketball. The competition then uses the top three finishes in men\u2019s and women\u2019s wildcard sports, which are any other sports that the conference sponsors a championship in. The regular season finish is used for the sports of soccer, basketball, volleyball and softball, while the conference championship finishes are used for cross country, track and field and golf.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Lions had five teams either nationally ranked or receiving votes and nine mentioned in the regional rankings or polls during the 2012-13 season. UCCS was ranked No. 80 out of 286 Division II schools in the Learfield Sports Director\u2019s Cup, which serves as a national all-sport competition cup, at the end of the winter season.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Lions will wrap up the 2012-13 seasons at the national championships for golf and track and field. Men\u2019s golf will begin May 20 at the Hershey Country Club in Hershey, Pa., while the men\u2019s and women\u2019s outdoor track and field teams will begin May 23 at the DeRose ThunderBowl in Pueblo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
