Published: Thursday, May. 22, 2008 | Page 2C

Sacramento State's women won the Big Sky Conference's All-Sports Trophy, the league announced Wednesday.

The Hornets, who won conference titles in volleyball, soccer, indoor and outdoor track and field and tennis, claimed the trophy for the first time since joining the league in 1996-97. They finished with 91 points, well ahead of runner-up Northern Arizona's 71.

Sac State's men finished fourth among the Big Sky's nine teams.
