They display sportsmanship, not only as a participant in their sport but also as a spectator and in their everyday lives. Through their positive actions and example, these student-athletes inspire others to adhere to the quality of sportsmanship that the NESCAC and the NCAA endorse.

Of the 85 individuals honored this winter, nine hold multiple All-Sportsmanship Team citations including Tufts' Chin.
