Minnesota State won the North Central Conference Cup and both the Men's and Women's All-Sports trophies for the 2007-08 season. The Mavericks ran away in the otherwise tight race for the Men's All-Sports Awards with a 18-point margin over second-place St. Cloud State while the women's had a slimmer 1.5 point margin over second-place South Dakota. In the NCC Cup Standings MSU had a large 21-point advantage over second-place South Dakota.

It is the fourth time in the five-year history of the NCC Cup that the Mavericks have claimed the award and it is only the fifth time in NCC history that a team has claimed both the Men's and Women's All-Sports Awards in the same year.
