Navy finished second with 142.25 overall points, while Bucknell (139.75), Boston University (136.5) and Lehigh (112.25) make up the top five.
"Winning the Patriot League Presidents' Cup is a testament to the relentless commitment, resilience, and competitive spirit of our cadet-athletes, coaches, and staff. To finish atop the standings and bring the Cup back to West Point for the first time in two decades is an incredible achievement, especially while also leading the women's standings," said Director of Athletics Tom Theodorakis. "This moment reflects the pride and excellence that define Army West Point Athletics, and we couldn't be more proud to represent the Long Gray Line with honor on and off the fields of friendly strife."
The Black Knights claimed the League crown in women's cross country, men's swimming and diving and women's outdoor track and field. They also won the regular-season titles in softball and women's tennis to help finish with a League-leading 84.25 points in the women's standings. Boston University compiled 84 points, collecting League titles in women's indoor track and field, women's rowing, softball, women's soccer and women's tennis. Bucknell (75.25), Navy (75.25) and Lehigh (62.25) round out the closely-contested top five.

The Patriot League Presidents' Cup is awarded to the member institution with the highest cumulative sports point total in the Patriot League standings for sponsored men's and women's sports. Points are awarded based on a combination of an institution's regular-season and tournament finishes in each sport.
In football, points are awarded based on the final regular-season standings. If there is no regular-season competition and a Patriot League Championship determines the champion, points are awarded based on the final championship standings. If all teams compete in the Patriot League Championship and there is a regular-season competition, points are awarded based on the average of the final regular-season standings and the tournament finish. If all teams do not participate in the Patriot League Championship and a regular-season competition is held, points are awarded based on the average of the final season standings and the tournament finish. For those teams not participating in the Championship, the final regular-season standings will be utilized.
Bucknell leads all programs with 18 overall Patriot League Presidents' Cup titles, followed by Navy with 11 and Army West Point with five trophies. The three schools are the only winners of the overall title in League history.
