Denver wins Directors Cup as top DI-AAA program, tops in Belt as well
Another strong athletic year here in Pioneer land as the top non-football athletic program in D-I, and tops among Sun Belt, Local Front Range and fellow and future WAC schools as well.
I think we wold have set a school record this year had the ski team finished better at the NCAAs and if the women's soccer team had scored an NCAA bid after a 19-2-1 season.

No offense, but as an ASU fan, I'm looking forward to my team not having to play basketball over an ice hockey rink.

Congrats, very impressive.
MT had a rough year, falling out of the Top 100, but still finished 2nd in the Belt.

None taken.
What I always find interesting is that Denver students hailing from south of the Mason Dixon line, many of whom have never been to a D-I college hockey game before arriving at school, almost always end up being the loudest and vociferous hockey fans we have, particularly the Texans They take to the game instantly - it's so much better in person than on TV.

You'd be surprised at how big of a "hockey town" Nashville is.
