LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- The Austin College women's soccer team earned the National Soccer Coaches Association of America College Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award. Full release
A total of 83 college programs earned the awards, based on yellow card accumulation during the season. The 'Roos, led by Head Coach Kristina Corona earned the Gold Award after collecting just one yellow card in their 19 games.
To be selected for the award, an NSCAA College Services member must nominate a team that meets the following criteria:
A team may not have received any (0) Red Cards at any time during the season. The "season" includes all regular season and play-off contests.
Platinum: No cards accumulated during the season
Gold: Percentage of cards accumulated during the season ranging from 1-10%
Silver: Percentage of cards accumulated during the season ranging from 11-30%
Bronze: Percentage of cards accumulated during the season ranging from 31-50%
The percentage formula is the number of cards accumulated divided by the number of games played (i.e., 5 cards divided by 20 games played is 0.25 or 25%, which qualifies for a Silver Award).
