The Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award recognizes teams that exhibit fair play, sporting be- havior and adherence to the laws of the game, as reflected by the number of yellow caution cards or red ejection cards shown by referees throughout the season based on the number of cards accumulated divided by the number of games played. In all, 34 men’s and women’s teams received one of four versions of the award. Platinum winners accu- mulated no cards during the season, while Gold (1-10 percent), Silver (11-30 percent) and Bronze (31-50 per- cent) winners were also recognized. Plymouth State was honored at the Bronze level after the completion of its four-game schedule this spring. The Panthers also earned Bronze recog- nition in the fall of 2017, followed by back-to-back Silver awards in 2018 and 2019. PSU and Castleton University were the only two Little East Conference (LEC) schools honored. Under the guidance of seventh-year head coach Ryan Joy, the PSU split its four games during the spring semester. The Panthers expect to play a full 16-game schedule this fall. Help Wanted
