Following the completion of the spring sports season eight teams have been recognized for sportsmanship. The Landmark Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) created a Sportsmanship Cup in the fall of 2009 and by the end of the year; one institution will be awarded 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 ranking the top-3 sportsmanship programs in their respective sports. The formula also takes into account the number of sports an institution sponsors.
The Greyhounds completed the 2012-13 season with a 7-10 record, and Moravian was 4-3 in Landmark Conference action, tying for fourth place but missing the postseason on a tiebreaker.
The men's tennis team joins Moravian's women's basketball and women's soccer squads as Landmark Conference Sportsmanship Award winners in 2012-13.
