BIDDEFORD, Maine -- The Commonwealth Coast Conference released its all-conference teams and major award winners today, and the University of New England men's lacrosse team is the co-winner of the Team Sportsmanship Award.

This is the second time in three seasons the Nor'easters have grabbed a share of the award under the direction of head coach Jon Hunt.

"Playing the game the right way is very important to us," says Hunt.  "We are very proud our opponents have recognized that in us. Our student-athletes work very hard on and off the field, and it is nice to be rewarded for our efforts."
