Classy Gusties

      We constantly preach being the best individuals we can be in all areas of our lives.  From the field to the classroom to walking around campus or town, we know we are representing more than just ourselves, instead we are representing our team, program, athletics department and Gustavus as an institution.  With this belief driving us, we work to display high class and sportsmanship towards our opponents, referees and fans.  It's a great honor to receive recognition for our sportsmanship with the NSCAA Silver Award for Sportsmanship and Ethics.  See the release below from our Gustavus Sports Information Department explaining this award!

Posted on December 25th, 2014 by Nick Hoelmer

KANSAS CITY – The Gustavus Adolphus women’s soccer team was recently recognized by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America for its outstanding sportsmanship and demonstration of strong ethics this past season. For the third consecutive season, the Gusties were awarded the Silver Award, which requires a team to have no red cards and no more than five yellow cards accumulated during the season.

125 total teams receiving either the Gold, Silver or Bronze Award. Gustavus was one of only three schools to represent the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletics Conference in the Sportsmanship and Ethics Awards, with Bethel University and St. Olaf College being the others.
