Six from University of Dallas announced to 2013 SCAC Spring 'All-Sportsmanship' Teams

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - University of Dallas student-athletes Trevor Allred, Erin Begle, Jack Grubner, Marcos Martinez, Jim O'Toole and Emma Polefko have been named by the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) to the respective fifth-annual SCAC spring all-sportsmanship teams.

A total of 39 student-athletes were selected to the 2013 squad in the sports of baseball, men’s golf, women’s golf, men's lacrosse, softball, men's tennis, women's tennis, men’s track & field and women’s track & field.

The SCAC places a special emphasis on sportsmanship each year, but this year, the conference went a step further. Prior to the 2012-13 academic year, the league developed and introduced a new sportsmanship-themed campaign, “Cheer Hard, Play Harder, Respect Everyone,” and created PSAs and videos that were distributed throughout the conference.

These pieces have been played during conference-produced video-streamed championship activities throughout the 2012-13 academic year and even promoted nationally through the NCAA Division III Twitter account and Facebook page.

The following student-athletes were named to the 2013 SCAC All-Sportsmanship Team for the sports of baseball, men's and women's golf, men's lacrosse, softball, men's and women's tennis and men’s and women’s track & field (All recipients are listed with school, class and hometown noted):
