On the men's side, the Nor'easters sit in a tie for seventh (4.67). Roger Williams has a perfect 10.00 average at the top of the list, followed by Suffolk University (9.00) and Endicott (8.67).

The conference all-sports trophy was introduced in 2013-14 and is awarded annually to the institution that performs the best across all league competition. Points are awarded based on CCC tournament championships (10 points) and tournament runner-up finishes (9 points), followed by the regular-season position (8 points, etc.) in the standings for the remaining teams. The final average score is then determined by dividing the total points by the number of CCC sports sponsored by that institution.
