| 2013 College Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Awards |
The Ohio Northern women's soccer team has been named as a silver recipient of the College Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
The award recognizes teams that exhibit fair play, sporting behavior and adherence to the laws of the game, as reflected by the number of yellow caution cards or red ejection cards they are shown by referees throughout the season.
In order to qualify for the silver honor, a team must receive no red cards and accumulate no more than five yellow cards over the course of the season.
