INDIANAPOLIS – The University of Missouri-St. Louis has finished fourth in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Commissioner's Cup, marking its highest finish since UMSL was third in 2012-13. 

Points are allocated for the Commissioner's Cup based on the athletic department's finish in the GLVC's postseason tournaments and league standings in men's soccer, women's soccer, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball, and baseball. All 15 Conference members sponsor these sports at the intercollegiate level.

The Tritons totaled 75 points, finishing two points shy of first place Drury, and one point shy of Indianapolis and Lewis, which both tied for second. 

UMSL made the GLVC Championship Tournament in six of the seven core sports this year, highlighted by a league title in men's basketball, as well as a second-place finish in volleyball.

Instituted prior to the 2002-03 season, the Commissioner's Cup has had six different institutions stake claim to the award. Former league member Bellarmine became the sixth school in 2018-19 with its first win in its final year of league membership, while USI earned its second Cup in 2017-18 and first in 2003-04. Rockhurst picked up its first honor in 2016-17. UIndy scored its second Cup in 2015-16 after the first came in 2013-14, which was bookended by other first-time winners Drury (2014-15) and Lewis (2012-13). Following the 2011-12 season, former GLVC member Northern Kentucky took home its fifth-straight and eighth overall Cup over a 10-year span, while SIU Edwardsville – another former member – earned the Commissioner's Cup in 2007. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic that suspended spring sport competition in 2020, the 2019-20 Cup was not awarded.

The standings for the 2021-22 GLVC Commissioner's Cup are as follows:
