HFU Women Tie Program Record with Second Place Finish in CACC's Restaino Cup Standings
The HFU women's second place finish in the 2022-23 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Restaino Cup standings is tied for the highest in the program's history, dating back to when the league debuted the award for the first time in its Division II era in 2006-07.
The Tigers also finished second in 2007- 08 and 2011-12.
The point system used for the award takes into account each athletic program's finish in both the 2022-23 CACC regular season and conference tournaments. Each institution receives a combined point total and the sum is then divided by the number of women's sports the institution competes in during the season.
Holy Family averaged 9.8438 points across its eight sports, finishing less than a half point behind champion Jefferson's average of 10.2500.
Track & field led the way with 12 points after tying a program record with a second place finish at the CACC Championship for the second year in a row.
Volleyball (11.25) and women's basketball (11) were right behind thanks to second place finishes in the regular season, coupled with CACC Tournament Semifinal appearances.
Soccer also advanced to the CACC Tournament Semifinals for an average of 9.75 points after a fifth place finish in the regular season standings.
Cross country added 10 points to the total thanks to a fourth place finish at the CACC Championship, one position shy of the program record set the previous year.
Lacrosse and softball contributed averages of 8.75 points and 7.5 points, respectively, after both qualified for the CACC Tournament for the third consecutive year. Lacrosse finished fifth in the regular season standings, while softball was seventh.
