St. Cloud State University placed second in the standings for the 2018-19 NSIC Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) Cup. The final standings for this year's NSIC SAAC Cup were announced during the joint meeting of student-athletes and the NSIC Board of Directors at the NSIC SAAC Summit. The NSIC SAAC Summit took place on May 20-22 on the campus of Northern State University in Aberdeen, S.D.
The Huskies placed second with 8955 points behind league leader Wayne State, which posted 9056 points this year. This marks the second consecutive year that SCSU has finished among the top two teams in the SAAC Cup standings, which includes a first place finish by SCSU in 2017-18.

The NSIC SAAC Cup is a traveling trophy that is awarded annually at the SAAC Summit. Institutions receive points throughout the year based on the criteria within the categories below. The winner is the institutional SAAC with the most points accumulated by the end of the academic year (September 1-May 1). The points must be achieved in each category to be eligible to win the NSIC SAAC Cup.
Throughout the year St. Cloud State University student-athletes give back to the campus and community by engaging in a wide-range of volunteer and community engagement activities and events. Some of the those volunteer and outreach efforts include working with youth groups in the community, participating in campus move-in day events and raising funds for groups such as Make-A-Wish, Toys-for-Tots and Special Olympics.
