Menlo College was presented with the California Pacific Conference All-Sports trophy for the second consecutive year during a ceremony at the conference's annual meeting last Sunday on the campus of California Maritime Academy.

The trophy, awarded to the school which achieves the most athletic success in Cal Pac competition over the course of an academic year, represents Menlo's on-field success during the 2007-08 seasons. Menlo won its first Cal Pac All-Sports trophy following the 2006-2007 academic year.

In each Cal Pac-sanctioned sport (men's and women's cross country, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's basketball, men's golf and softball), points are awarded in descending order to the top six finishers in the conference standings. Menlo finished two points ahead of Holy Names University in the final tally.

Last season, the Oaks drive to the Cal Pac All-Sports trophy was fueled by the women's soccer and men's basketball teams, which each won a Cal Pac title. Menlo's women's soccer team finished in a first-place tie with Dominican University while the men's basketball team won the conference tournament after ending the Cal Pac regular season in second place. Both teams qualified for the NAIA Championships.
