The third place finish by UCM tied the 2003-2004 Truman Bulldogs for the top finish by an MIAA school in the 14 year history of the event. Nebraska-Omaha was the second best finisher from the MIAA in 14th. UCM and Truman are the only two MIAA schools to ever finish in the top ten while a member of the league. It was the eighth top ten finish by UCM since the inception of the Directors Cup in 1995, and the eighth time UCM has finished tops among MIAA members. UCM's previous best finish was sixth in 1996-1997 and 2006-2007. Approximately 290 institutions competed at the NCAA Division II level in 2008-2009.
