The Capital One Cup awards a combined $400,000 in student-athlete scholarships to the top men’s and women’s athletic programs in the country. The winners receive the trophy at the ESPYs in July. This is the 10th year of the award. 

The Hoyas are tied for the men’s lead with the help of the men’s soccer team — which beat No. 1 Virginia in a thrilling championship game that finished 3-3 in regulation before Georgetown won 7-6 on penalty kicks. 

LSU beat Clemson 42-25 in the College Football Playoff championship game, and North Dakota State beat James Madison 28-20 for its eighth FCS championship. 

Stanford’s women beat North Carolina for the women’s soccer championship and Wisconsin for the volleyball championship.
