The award mimics the Dean Ehlers Leadership Award, which is presented in men's and women's basketball. One student-athlete who represents the highest standards of teamwork, integrity, leadership, and sportsmanship in his or her academic and athletic achievements was selected in each of the other 19 sports sponsored by the Conference.
The CAA's Faculty Athletic Representatives voted on the winners.
