JACKSON – For the fifth time in school history and the first since 2012, Levi Nunnally and the Northwest women's soccer team has been presented with the Tom Shepherd Sportsmanship Award.

The award is presented annually by the MACJC to a men's and women's soccer program with the least amount of yellow/red cards during the season. 

Northwest only had two yellow cards in 17 matches en route to a 11-6 season and semifinal playoff berth.

The Lady Rangers also received the Tom Shepherd Award in 2008, 2009, 2011 and 2012 under former head coach Peter Jarjoura. The Ranger men have won the award five times as well.
