ATLANTA, GA- The Millsaps Majors' Rajan Hanstad has been named to the Southern Athletic Association's All-Sportsmanship team for the 2013-14 season.
The conference honors the student-athletes who best exemplify the NCAA standard for sportsmanship and fair play. The All-Sportsmanship team is selected by the conference head coaches who best show those traits both on and off the court.
From the NCAA: "High standards of scholarship and sportsmanship are adhered to by member institutions. To accomplish this goal, opponents must respect each other, and appreciate honest efforts that are made fairly in pursuit of victory...While victory shall be the expected goal of every competitor, defeat is not a disgrace; the prospect of defeat is never an excuse for unethical behavior or a lack of sportsmanship. Adherence to these principles will maximize the benefits and enjoyment of intercollegiate competition for all participants, coaches and spectators."
