BU wins 2011-12 Dixon Trophy
The Dixon Trophy, awarded to the PSAC school with the top athletics program among its 16 full-time members, is named after F. Eugene Dixon, Jr., former chairman of the PASSHE Board of Governors. Each year it's awarded to the PSAC institution that accumulates the most points based on results of conference playoffs and/or regular-season records. Each institution's point total is calculated by adding its top six men's finishes and top six women's finishes in 23 conference sports.
