Morgan, Lady Cats' soccer team receive national recognition

July 16, 2024

The Woodland High School girls soccer team and head coach Kyle Morgan were recognized this past week as a Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Gold Award winner by the United Soccer Coaches.

Thirty-six teams across the country were recognized for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior, and adherence to the laws of the game.

The Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award is given to United Soccer Coaches members at four levels. Teams honored at the platinum level went an entire season without a player or coach receiving a yellow card or red card. Teams honored at the gold (1-10%), silver (11-30%), and bronze (31-50%) levels are based on a percentage calculated by the total number of cards received by players and coaches divided by the team’s total number of games played.
