The 2024 Calvin University women's soccer team added one final award to its accomplishments on Wednesday when it was named a recipient of the United Soccer Coaches Team Pinnacle Award.
 
The award, which was first handed out in 2019, recognizes teams for sportsmanship, academic achievement and on-field success. Calvin is one of only 14 total teams (men's and women's) across all collegiate divisions to receive the honor.
 
To be considered for the award, teams must have received either the Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze version of the High School or College Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award; achieved recognition in the classroom as a recipient of the High School or College Team Academic Award; and recorded a winning percentage of .750 or higher during the respective season.
 
Calvin won the Silver Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award from United Soccer Coaches after finishing the 2024 season with only four yellow cards.
 
In the classroom, the Knights won the Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches thanks to a 3.52 team grade point average.
 
On the field, Calvin went 15-3-2 on the season and won the MIAA regular season and tournament championships. The Knights also won their opening round game of the NCAA Division III Tournament before falling in round two.
