HILTON, N.Y. (nazathletics.com) - Nazareth Athletics finished fourth with 141 points and a percentage of 0.675 in the final 2025-26 Empire 8 Commissioners Cup standings, the conference announced Thursday morning.
Commissioner's Cup points are awarded based on each team's finish in the Empire 8 conference standings at the completion of the regular season and post-season. Points are awarded on a scale dependent upon the number of schools that sponsor the sport (affiliate members are not calculated into the point scale). A team's regular season finish will be added to its post-season finish and divided by two for the final total for that sport. Teams tied for a position in the regular season standings are ranked based on tiebreaker scenarios. The actual number of points earned is then divided by the amount of possible points for each school based on conference-sponsored sports to determine their overall percentage.
