Raiders Earn Sportsmanship Award<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Hamilton, NY \u2013 Sept. 2015) Good news keeps finding the Raider men\u2019s lacrosse program.<\/p>\n

Colgate and head coach Mike Murphy are District 2 recipients of the James \u201cAce\u201d Adams Sportsmanship Award for the 2015 season. The honor comes via the U.S. Lacrosse Men\u2019s Collegiate Officials Committee.<\/p>\n

Initiated in 2006, the awards are presented annually to the college or university in each of the 11 officiating districts whose coaches, players and fans exhibit the best sportsmanship throughout the season. Both varsity and club (MCLA) programs are eligible, and winners are voted among district officials who are members of the National Intercollegiate Lacrosse Officials Association (NILOA).<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of our team, we are very excited to be honored with this great award,\u201d Murphy said. \u201cI want to thank the officials association and U.S. Lacrosse for mentioning our team in such a great way.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know sportsmanship is very important to the NCAA, and to have our team recognized for this special award is fantastic for our program.\u201d<\/p>\n

Treating Game with Respect<\/strong><\/p>\n

The award exemplifies the tradition and sportsmanship in lacrosse displayed by Ace Adams, who amassed 284 collegiate coaching victories during a career that spanned five decades and included stints at Army, Pennsylvania and Virginia. At the time of his 1992 retirement, Adams had the most wins of any active Division I coach.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe schools being honored with the Ace Adams Award have demonstrated the ability to treat all involved in the game with respect,\u201d said Tom Sutton, chair of the U.S. Lacrosse men\u2019s game officials\u2019 subcommittee. \u201cSportsmanship is achieved when participants treat others the way they themselves would like to be treated, regardless of the level of competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cNILOA and U.S. Lacrosse thank these institutions for their commitment to sportsmanship.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s winners are being recognized\u00a0Jan. 22-24\u00a0at the 2016 U.S. Lacrosse National Convention in Baltimore.<\/p>\n
