ROME, Ga. -- For a fifth time since joining the conference, the Covenant men's soccer team earned the USA South Team Sportsmanship Award for the sport, announced the conference recently.

Covenant also won the award four straight years from 2013-16.

The conference hands out a Sportsmanship Award for 12 conference-sponsored team sports. Men's and women's cross country, along with men's golf, are not included due to a lack of a conference schedule in those particular sports. For each of the other sports, all team members vote for the teams he/she deemed to have demonstrated the best overall sportsmanship throughout the season. 

The institution which wins the most individual sport awards will be presented with the overall USA South Sportsmanship Trophy. Covenant has won the overall sportsmanship trophy six times.

Under fifth-year head coach Scott Bosgraf, Covenant finished the year 12-4-4 overall and 4-0-2 in the USA South. The Scots claimed the program's second USA South Tournament title to advance to the program's second NCAA Tournament.

Covenant went on to win its first round match in the NCAA Tournament, 1-0 over Denison, before falling in the second round to No. 1-ranked Washington & Lee.

Since 2018, Covenant is 31-3-3 against the USA South in regular season play.
