KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second straight year, the Texas State soccer team received the United Soccer Coaches Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Silver Award. The accolade is given to teams that exhibit fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game.
A total of 95 men's and women's collegiate programs received the award that is given out at four levels. Teams honored at the platinum level went an entire season without a player or coach receiving a yellow 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.
