NEW HAVEN, Conn.– The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) has awarded its women's Sportsmanship Award to Caldwell University for the 2025-2026 season. It was also announced that Caldwell's Men's teams placed 3rd for the Men's Sportsmanship Award this past season. 

After the conclusion of each sport's respective season, the league's coaches vote for the sportsmanship award. To determine the overall Sportsmanship Award standings, the total number of points awarded are divided by the total number of sports, both men and women, for that school. They are then ranked by average number of points. 

Overall, the women's teams of Caldwell University took home first place with an average of 13.13 points per sport. Caldwell Women's volleyball and lacrosse ranked #1 in their respective sports, while cross country tied for 3rd and soccer tied for 2nd. Additionally, the men's teams placed 3rd overall with an average of 10.50 points per sport. Caldwell's baseball team took 1st place and men's lacrosse tied for 2nd. 

"We take great pride in our athletes representing Caldwell University with such respect, embodying what it truly means to be a Cougar," said Mark A. Corino, Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics. "They value more than just winning; they value having good character and integrity, which is something that should never go unrecognized."
