WESTLAKE, Ohio -- The Barry Buccaneers finished in the Top-20 of the Learfield Director's Cup competition for the second time in three cycles, coming in at 17th this year.

The LEARFIELD Directors' Cup was developed as a joint effort between the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and USA Today. Points are awarded based on each institution's finish in NCAA Championships. Overall, 15 sports are counted in the final DII standings, four of which must be women's volleyball and basketball and men's basketball and baseball. The next highest (11 max.) sports scored for each institution, regardless of gender, are used in the standings.

Barry compiled points in men's soccer, volleyball, baseball, men's golf, women's golf, men's tennis, and women's tennis.
