KANSAS CITY, Mo. – United Soccer Coaches announced on Friday the Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award recipients for high school and college soccer programs competing in the fall season. The Juniata College women's soccer team was awarded the Silver Award. 

The awards recognized a total of 143 teams across the country for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game.

The Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award is given to United Soccer Coaches members at four levels. 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.
