COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Regis University was presented the 2024-25 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference’s SAAC Cup, recognizing the league’s top-performing Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) during the past academic year, as part of the league’s annual SAAC Retreat in July.

Established in 2015-16, the SAAC Cup is presented to the institutional Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) whose student-athlete cohorts accrue the most points over two different initiatives during the academic year: the average number of community service hours per student-athlete and total funds raised to support local causes and charities during the academic year.

Regis accumulated 2,400 of a possible 3,000 points last season, with its student-athletes averaging 14.8 hours of community service. Western Colorado University finished second with 2,300 points after raising more than $56,000 for community service projects. The University of Colorado Colorado Springs and Colorado State University Pueblo were both tied for third with 2,200 points. Notably, Colorado Christian University student-athletes averaged 27 hours of community service, leading all institutions, followed by CSU Pueblo with 23.3 hours.

“All I have to say is how proud I am of all student-athletes here at Regis for consistently putting others before themselves,” said Regis SAAC President Hojin Lee. “Being a Ranger is more than just excelling in the classroom and winning on the field or court. Our reach into the community is incredibly important to us, and it is always great to be recognized for every athlete's contribution!”
