KANSAS CITY, Mo -The Mount Union and Muskingum women's soccer teams have been honored by the United Soccer Coaches with Ethics/Sportsmanship Awards for the 2018 season. Teams are recognized for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game. 

 

Mount Union, under the direction of eighth-year Head Coach Kelley Clark, earned the Platinum Award. Muskingum received the Gold Award under the guidance of 23rd-year Head Coach Mary Beth Caudill. 

 

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/coaches divided by the team’s total number of games played.

The seven college teams in the platinum category will be formally acknowledged at the College Coaches Awards Reception on Jan. 10 at the Chicago Marriott Marquis Great Lakes Ballroom in conjunction with the 2019 United Soccer Coaches Convention.
