UMC Women's Soccer Earns Awards

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The University of Minnesota Crookston women’s soccer team was one of a total of 164 high school and college teams recognized by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award. They received the bronze level award for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game.

Minnesota Crookston was selected based on the total number of cards received by players/coaches divided by the team’s total number of games played. UMC had just six cards in 18 games. The level of the award is calculated based on a percentage of cards per game. UMC was awarded at the bronze level because they received yellow cards in 33 percent of their games, so they were on the upper end of the bronze level (31-50%). 

The Golden Eagles concluded the 2016 season with a 3-13-2 mark. They will look to build on their mark heading into the 2017 slate.
