MEN
Roger Williams, which won the CCC Cross Country Championship and tied for the CCC Men's Soccer Regular-Season Championship, but did not reach the title match, took the second spot in this year's All-Sports Trophy standings. The Hawks earned 17.5 points in two sports for an 8.75 average.
Gordon is in first place in the Men's All-Sport Trophy and had a very strong fall season on the men's side, winning the CCC Tournament Championship in soccer and finishing third at the CCC Cross Country Champion. The top big finishes helped the Fighting Scots earn 18 points in this year's battle for the CCC All-Sports Trophy for an average of 9.00 points per sport.
The final CCC Champion on the men's side was Endicott, which earned 10 points in the CCC Football due to its conference title. The Gulls also earned a share of the regular-season title in soccer, but did not reach the championship, which granted them 7.5 points. In total, the Gulls had 23.5 points over three sports for a 7.83 average.
Suffolk, Salve Regina, and Western New England took the next three spots in the table thanks in part to their runner-up finishes in different sports. The Rams second place finish in the CCC Cross Country Championship, earned them nine points toward their 12.5-point total and 6.25 points per sport average. That average placed them fourth overall. Meanwhile, the Seahawks finished as the men's soccer tournament runner-up, granting them nine of their 18.5 points over three sports for a 6.17 average and the fifth-place spot in the standings. Finally, the Golden Bears actually had the same CCC Football record as the champion Gulls, but lost the tiebreaker. They sit in sixth place in the All-Sports Trophy standings with 18 points over three sports and a 6.00 average.
Curry (5.00 points per sport), the University of New England (4.67), Wentworth (3.75), ad Nichols (3.67) completed this year's standings in that order.

| *CCC Football includes associate members. Associate members are not included in the All-Sports trophy standings, but points are distributed as though they were (i.e. If an associate member wins the Championship Tournament, no school would be awarded 10 points.) |
ABOUT THE ALL-SPORTS TROPHY
The All-Sports Trophies have been awarded annually since 2013-14 to the schools that perform the best across the board in league competition. The award was not given out in 2019-20 and 2020-21 due to incomplete seasons.
In each sport, points are awarded based on CCC championship and CCC runner-up finishes in the conference tournament followed by the regular-season finish of the remaining teams. The CCC Tournament Champion receives 10 points and the CCC Tournament runner-up receives nine points.
The regular-season finish of the remaining teams is used to determine the number of points awarded to each of those programs. The team with the highest regular-season finish, excluding the Tournament Champion and runner-up, receives eight points with the next team down receiving seven points. The process continues until all teams have been awarded points. In the event of a tie, each tied team receives the average of the sum of the spots for which they are competing.
After the total points are calculated, points are then divided by the number of CCC sports that each school sponsors to arrive at an average score.
For sports that do not conduct a conference tournament, each teams' place in the final regular-season standings or finish at the championship event are used to determine the allocation of points. Associate members are not eligible to earn points in the All-Sports trophy standings, but their finish is considered when determining the allocation of points for full members.
Starting in the 2017-18 academic year, the awarding procedure was amended so that any sport in which at least five core CCC members compete against each other in the same conference (even if that conference is not the CCC) would receive points in the All-Sports Trophy standings.
The All-Sports Trophy standings will be updated following the conclusion of the CCC winter season.
