FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — Averett's men's soccer team received the USA South Conference's Sportsmanship Award, the conference announced on Wednesday.
During the 2004-2005 academic year, the USA South Athletic Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee instituted a conference-wide Sportsmanship Award. For every sport, each team member votes for the teams he or she deems to have demonstrated the best overall sportsmanship throughout the season. The team garnering the most votes receives that sports' Sportsmanship Award.
The institution which wins the most individual sport awards will be presented with the overall USA South Sportsmanship Trophy. The award was developed as a result of the SAAC's commitment to maintaining a sportsmanlike environment on each of conference members' campuses.
Other fall Sportsmanship Awards were given to Maryville College (football) and Mary Baldwin College (volleyball and women's soccer).
