For just the second time in school history, Blackburn College claims the SLIAC Team Sportsmanship Award. The award, which was first presented in 2011, is given to the school that receives the most points in sportsmanship voting throughout the school year.

Blackburn finished the year with 17 points, receiving votes in 10 conference sports. They won the individual team sportsmanship award in both Women's Soccer and Men's Outdoor Track and Field. The only other time the school won the annual award was in the 2022-23 academic year.

Eight different schools won a sport's team sportsmanship award with all nine member schools collecting at least three points in the overall total.
