BURNSVILLE, Minn. - The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) released the final All-Sports Standings following the 2024-25 season and Concordia-St. Paul finished fifth overall with the women in fifth and the men in seventh.
The Golden Bears' 121.5 points in the overall standings are 10.5 points ahead of sixth-place Winona State (111.0) and just four points behind fourth-place UMary (125.5). The finish marks a one-spot improvement for the Golden Bears as they finished in sixth place in the overall standings a year ago, tallying 113.5 points throughout the 2023-24 academic year.
Minnesota State earned the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) All-Sports Award as spring sports concluded in May. The Mavericks earned the award for the eighth time since re-joining the league in 2008, amassing 203.0 points to finish 20.0 points ahead of second-place Augustana. Augustana, Minnesota Duluth, Minnesota State, and Winona State remain the only institutions to earn the award in its 25+ year history.
Since 2017-18, the NSIC recognizes an overall champion along with a men's and a women's champion. MSU also earned the men's and women's awards as it scored 81.0 points in men's sports and 122.0 in women's sports. The Mavericks will be presented their awards on Tuesday, July 8 at the NSIC Hall of Fame Banquet in Moorhead, Minnesota.
Minnesota State won seven regular-season titles during the 2024-25 academic year, including women's soccer, men's & women's indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball and women's golf.
The NSIC All Sports Award is calculated by awarding the winner of each conference-sponsored championship points totaling the number of teams in that sport plus one. The next place finisher receives points totaling the number of teams less the number of places from first place. Ties in the standings at any level result in the totaling of points and equal distribution.

The NSIC is a model Division II conference that uses high-level athletics competition to develop champions in the classroom and community while empowering student-athletes to be impactful and positive leaders. Formed in 1992 by the merger of the Northern Intercollegiate Conference (men's league) and the Northern Sun Conference (women's league), the NSIC has flourished over the past quarter century, maturing into a union of Upper Midwest colleges and universities. The NSIC has won 27 team national championships and crowned 121 individual national champions. For additional information, visit NorthernSun.org.
About NCAA Division II
The NCAA, the national governing body for college athletics, is a volunteer association of more than 1,000 colleges and universities that classify their athletics programs in one of three membership divisions. The 300+ institutions in NCAA Division II support a balanced approach in which student-athletes can earn scholarships based on their athletic ability, pursue their desired academic degree, and participate in all the campus and surrounding community have to offer. Division II student-athletes annually graduate at rates higher than their student body peers, and they have access to the best championships-participant ratio among the NCAA's three divisions. Division II gives student-athletes the unique opportunity to compete in the classroom, on the field, in their career, for their causes, and on their terms.
