Cup points are awarded in each NEC sponsored sport. For men's and women's basketball, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, football, women's bowling, softball, men's and women's lacrosse, and baseball, the final regular season standings are used to determine Cup points. Starting with the 2012–13 season, the Conference began awarding three bonus points to the NEC Tournament champion in those sports. In all other sports, points are awarded based on the finish at NEC Championship events. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Year</th> <th>Overall</th> <th>Men's</th> <th>Women's </th></tr> <tr> <td>2023–24</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Merrimack</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2022-23</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Merrimack</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2021-22</td> <td>LIU</td> <td>LIU</td> <td>LIU </td></tr> <tr> <td>2020-21</td> <td>LIU</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>LIU </td></tr> <tr> <td>2019-20</td> <td>Not Awarded</td> <td>Not Awarded</td> <td>Not Awarded </td></tr> <tr> <td>2018-19</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2017-18</td> <td>Saint Francis (PA)</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Saint Francis (PA) </td></tr> <tr> <td>2016-17</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2015-16</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2014-15</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2013-14</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Bryant</td> <td>Saint Francis (PA) </td></tr> <tr> <td>2012-13</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Saint Francis (PA) </td></tr> <tr> <td>2011-12</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2010-11</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2009-10</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2008-09</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2007-08</td> <td>Sacred Heart</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2006-07</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2005-06</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Long Island </td></tr> <tr> <td>2004-05</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Saint Francis (PA) </td></tr> <tr> <td>2003-04</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>Sacred Heart </td></tr> <tr> <td>2002-03</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>UMBC </td></tr> <tr> <td>2001-02</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>UMBC </td></tr> <tr> <td>2000-01</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>UMBC </td></tr> <tr> <td>1999-2000</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>UMBC </td></tr> <tr> <td>1998-99</td> <td>UMBC</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td>UMBC </td></tr> <tr> <td>1997-98</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1996-97</td> <td>Mount St. Mary's</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1995-96</td> <td>Mount St. Mary's</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1994-95</td> <td>Mount St. Mary's</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1993-94</td> <td>Fairleigh Dickinson</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1992-93</td> <td>Fairleigh Dickinson</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1991-92</td> <td>Fairleigh Dickinson</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1990-91</td> <td>Monmouth</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1989-90</td> <td>Fairleigh Dickinson</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1988-89</td> <td>Fairleigh Dickinson</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1987-88</td> <td>Fairleigh Dickinson</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr> <tr> <td>1986-87</td> <td>Long Island</td> <td></td> <td> </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Facilities">Facilities</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Northeast_Conference&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Facilities"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table class="sortable wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">School </th> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">Football stadium </th> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">Capacity </th> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">Basketball arena </th> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">Capacity </th> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">Baseball stadium </th> <th scope="col" style="background-color:#006BA3;color:#FFFFFF;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #231F20, inset -2px -2px 0 #231F20;">Capacity </th></tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:center;
