Sammie Howell (Columbus, Mont.) was named to the 2026 United East Conference Softball All-Sportsmanship Team as announced by the conference office.
The United East All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who epitomize the ideals of sportsmanship. Student-athletes selected to the All-Sportsmanship Team demonstrate fair play, graciousness in victory and respectfulness in defeat. Each individual has been chosen by their coach as a representative who embodies the Division III spirit.
Howell joins 12 other student-athletes, a representative from each conference member, on the All-Sportsmanship Team. Howell started and played in 30 games this season and compiled 17 hits, 23 walks, 20 stolen bases, and seven RBI.
The 13 student-athletes are ambassadors for their teams, both on and off the course, and galvanize their teammates toward their goals. They exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, spectators, and the greater campus community.
