All four of Colorado College's fall sports programs in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference were recognized by the league as winners of the SCAC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Team Sportsmanship award in balloting conducted following each sport's respective season.
The SCAC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee instituted the award prior to the 2016-17 academic year to honor the team that best portrays good sportsmanship and fair play from the players and coaches during the season. The fall awards are presented in men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's soccer and volleyball.
CC won for men's cross country, women's cross country (shared with Texas Lutheran), men's soccer and volleyball.
This year marks the second time in the last three years and third time in the Tigers' men's cross country program has earned the award (2018, 2023 & 2025). On the women's side, this marks the third time in program history CC has secured at least a share of the top honor (2018, 2020-21 & 2025),
In men's soccer, the Tigers took top honors for the third consecutive year. CC is the first program to win the honor three consecutive years and is now the only program in men's soccer history to win the award four different times (2021, 2023, 2024, 2025).
Finally, CC received top honors in volleyball for the first time in program history after finishing in the top three of voting in the previous three seasons.
