TOWSON, Md. (May 15, 2013) – The Drew University baseball and men's lacrosse teams were selected as the best representations of sportsmanship amongst their respective sports this season. It marks the first time that each program was recognized for sportsmanship since the inception of the award in 2009.

The Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) created a Sportsmanship Cup in the fall of 2009 and later this week, one institution will be announced as the winner of the coveted trophy.

The Landmark SAAC Sportsmanship Cup is designed to recognize the Landmark institution that demonstrates the best overall sportsmanship over the course of the year. The Cup is awarded based on a formula that compiles the votes of each Landmark coach in consultation with their team captains who have ranked the top-3 sportsmanship programs in their respective sports. The formula also takes into account the number of sports an institution sponsors.

The NCAA and the Landmark Conference have placed a special emphasis on sportsmanship with the hope of encouraging positive interaction not only amongst teams competing, but the fans in attendance as well.
