The biggest award the SWLL gives is the SWLL Sportsmanship Award. Any person (athlete, coach, umpire, or administrator) or team in the SWLL is eligible. While the SWLL seeks to create the best possible competitive experience for clubs, it has the higher goal of building women's lacrosse in the Deep South. For the SWLL Sportsmanship Award, nominees are those individuals or teams who have stepped beyond the usual boundaries to add a certain grace and giving spirit that sets the tone for this region. The 1999 SWLL Sportsmanship Award went to Katie Sweeney from Clemson. In addition to her excellent play in Clemson's midfield, Katie plays with an attitude for which the SWLL hopes all players strive. Beyond her athletic accomplishments, Katie has given to lacrosse as one of the top college-age officials in our region.
