Jim Duncan, director of athletics, remarked, “From the first athletics staff meeting of the year, until the final horn at the Women’s Lacrosse NCAA Tournament game, our goal has been capturing the 2022-23 SAA Commissioner’s Cup. Winning the Cup takes the effort of 529 Lynx student- athletes and the entire athletics staff. Our athletic success, combined with 400 student-athletes earning All-SAA academic honors, meets our high expectations of the championship culture we are building at Rhodes.”

Rhodes has won the cup four times in conference history, taking the crown in 2015, 2018, and 2019. In 2022-23, the Lynx earned SAA titles in men’s soccer, field hockey, women’s swimming and diving, and women’s lacrosse.
