In the North, Hibbing Community College was tabbed as the 2018 Sportsmanship team award recepient, while St. Cloud Technical & Community College was the Southern squad to receive the honor. In addition to their noted class and composure on the court, HCC and SCTCC both put together strong MCAC campaigns, with the Cardinals finishing play in the Region XIIIB tournament and the Cyclones reaching the Region XIIIA post-season.
