This wasn't as easy to find as I'd hoped.

The NACDA's 2002-03 results were released on June 26, 2003. But their current website for that announcement (https://nacda.com/sports/2018/7/17/direc...-html.aspx) does not include the pdf of full results (or a link to it).

It's also not on the Internet Archives' Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://na...-html.aspx

And it was not mentioned in any of the Thresher issues I searched or the two Rice Sallyport magazines published after we won the NC: https://scholarship.rice.edu/bitstream/h...sAllowed=y ... and ... https://scholarship.rice.edu/bitstream/h...sAllowed=y

There IS a copy of the final 2002-03 standings in the Woodson (Folder 24 here: https://legacy.lib.utexas.edu/taro/ricew...860.html).

I was on the verge of asking Melissa Kean (or a non-retired archives colleague) to retrieve a copy for me ... when Google pointed me to this, in the July 9, 2003, issue of the Summer Kent Stater:

Quote:Kent State athletics program finished its season 72nd in the 2002-03 Sears Director’s Cup ... (with) 223.5 points ... one point ahead of the University of New Hampshire and 7.5 points behind Rice University, who earned more points for winning the baseball championship.
(Source: https://dks.library.kent.edu/?a=d&d=sks20030709-01.2.15)

>> So in the 2002-03 ranking, we were 71st, with 231 points. <<

BTW, this 2015 Rice news release (https://riceowls.com/news/2015/6/25/Owls..._Standings) said that year's result -- 84th with 233 points -- was the Owls' "best result since they finished 64th with 326 points during the 2008-09 academic year."

Also, this Aug. 20, 2004, Thresher (https://scholarship.rice.edu/bitstream/h...sAllowed=y) features excellent articles by two Parliamentarians: Amber Obermeyer mentioned that Rice finished 89th in the 2003-04 Director's Cup standings (in an entertaining column about why she's happy she chose Rice over Duke) ... and next to it, Jonathan Yardley reported on our Big Three pitchers being drafted in the Top 8 of the 2004 MLB draft.
