The University of the Cumberlands (UC) has always taken great pride in its athletes and what they do to represent the University, not only on their respective playing surfaces, but outside of the University and in their daily lives.  Whether they are athletes or not, UC feels they surround themselves with people of great character and high ethical values.  Two Patriot athletes completely exemplify this as recently, they were announced as award winners on the highest stage of the NAIA.
