Spring Update: Michigan Rallies to Retain Pontiac Challenge Cup
by FOXSports.com
The Spring competition saw MSU earn a full point in the women's rowing event, plus a half-point in women's golf and men's golf. Michigan picked up a half-point in men's tennis, women's tennis, men's track & field and women's track & field. The schools each picked up a half point in softball and baseball.
By virtue of the Spring season ending in a tie, Michigan retains the Challenge Cup, which it captured during the Fall season with a 5.5 to 0.5 advantage. The Winter season also ended in a 3.0 to 3.0 tie. For a recap of all Pontiac Challenge Cup scoring, go to www.foxsports.com (keyword: Challenge Cup).
As part of its presenting sponsor status, Pontiac ensures that both schools come out winners via the Challenge Cup competition, with the schools splitting a $155,000 contribution -- $77,500 going to each school's athletic scholarship fund.
The Pontiac Challenge Cup competition resumes this Fall, with head-to-head points at stake in cross country, field hockey, football, soccer and volleyball.
