The HCAC sportsmanship award was developed as part of a conference-wide sportsmanship initiative in 2009. Members of the All-HCAC Sportsmanship team are selected by the coaches and their teammates as individuals who demonstrate the ideals of positive sportsmanship both on and off the field/court of competition. Nominees must have demonstrated consistently the values of respect, and integrity in his or her daily participation in intercollegiate athletics. Freshman Isabel Miller (Centerville) was recognized from Bluffton Women's Golf.
The Beavers will now take advantage of their indoor practice facility in Founders Hall until it's time to tee it up when they head south next March. Go Beavers!
