Clarke University Selected Musco Team Sportsmanship Award for Second-Straight Year

The Clarke University Pride have been selected for the Musco Team Sportsmanship Award for the sport of men's lacrosse for the second-straight year, announced by the Heart of America Athletic Conference.

The Pride, under head coach Tucker La Belle, earned the award for their display of the NAIA's Five Core Character Values of Integrity, Respect, Responsibility, Sportsmanship and Servant Leadership.

Teams are nominated throughout the season by Athletics Administrators, Game Officials, Coaches, Student-Athletes and Fans.

Here is what the nominators had to say about the Pride:

"Coach La Belle and the Pride made a significant effort to give back to the Dubuque community this season by volunteering with the Dubuque Humane Society and the Four Mounds Nature Preserve. Four student-athletes also served as coaches for a youth lacrosse organization this past season. They showed the definition of servant leadership all season long!"

The Heart would like to thank Musco Sports Lighting for serving as the sponsor for the award.

The team that is selected for the award, from each sport, will be honored at the 2024 Heart Summit in July.
