Lucky number seven? Luck had nothing to do with it.

In 2003-04, Denison won a conference-high seven team titles, en route to its seventh consecutive North Coast Athletic Conference All-Sports Championship. The Big Red won conference crowns in the women's sports of cross country tennis, swimming and diving, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field; along with the men's sports of men's lacrosse and soccer.

Out of 22 sports sponsored by the 10-member conference, Denison picked up 19 top-five finishes to cement its eighth All-Sports title in school history.

In the final standings, Denison finished with 170 points, 10 points in front of second-place Allegheny College. Ohio Wesleyan, Wittenberg and Wooster finished third through fifth, respectively but were separated by only 1.5 points. The Big Red solidified their unprecedented seventh-straight All-Sports title with a strong spring performance. They earned three championships and three second-place finishes this spring to compile 71 points and pull away from the field.

The All-Sports award is given annually to the school that performs the best across the NCAC's 22 sports. Ten points are awarded for a first-place finish, nine for a second, eight for a third, and so on. Men's and women's performances are combined, exemplifying the North Coast's commitment to equity and balance among programs. Wooster won three of the first four All-Sports championships, interrupted only by Denison in year two. Ohio Wesleyan followed with a six-year run leading to titles by Wooster (twice), Wittenberg (once) and finally Denison in each of the past seven seasons.
