Soccer Earns United Soccer Coaches Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (EMUEagles.com) – The Eastern Michigan University soccer team was awarded the Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award by the United Soccer Coaches, the organization announced, Jan. 3.

The Eagles were awarded the bronze level of the award, and is one of 143 teams over four divisions of NCAA soccer to earn the honor for the 2019 season. Additionally, Eastern is the only team from the Mid-American Conference to be recognized. This is the second team award from the United Soccer Coaches for EMU this season, after previously earning the Team Academic Award in October.

The Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award is given to United Soccer Coaches members at four levels: Division I, Division II, Division III, and NJCAA. Teams honored at the platinum level went an entire season without a player or coach receiving a yellow card or red card. Teams honored at the gold (1-10%), silver (11-30%) and bronze (31-50%) levels are based on a percentage calculated by the total number of cards received by players and coaches divided by the team's total number of games played, with no red cards being assessed at any point in the season.
