COUGARS CAPTURE COMMISSIONER’S CUP FOR RECORD-SETTING 7TH SEASON

In June, CSU Athletics set a new standard within the Peach Belt Conference by winning the 2021-22 PBC Commissioner’s Cup for the third consecutive year. This is the seventh time the Cougars have captured the award— setting a new conference record.

“The Commissioner's Cup signifies the outstanding year our athletic teams had in representing Columbus State University in the Peach Belt Conference, as well as regionally and nationally,” said Director of Athletics Todd Reeser. “I congratulate our student-athletes who wear the Cougar uniform with pride, while representing the university in a very positive manner.”

Reeser underscored that while the PBC Commissioner’s Cup is just one element of the victories CSU Athletics celebrated during the 2021-22 year. , they also celebrate that more than half of Columbus State’s 250 student-athletes earned a 3.0 or higher grade point average during the spring 2022 semester. Additionally, a quarter of all CSU’s student-athletes earned a spot on their sport’s conference Team of Academic Distinction.

Student-athletes weren’t the only ones making headlines. In all, four of CSU’s coaches were named their sport’s 2021- 22 coach of the year: Greg Appleton (baseball), Jay Entlich (women’s soccer), Bianca Lohbauer (women’s golf) and David Marley (men’s track and field). CSU’s Sports Information Department was also named the best SID program in the conference.
