From Press Release
The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2015 Tewaaraton Award men’s and women’s watch lists. The lists include the top players across all three NCAA lacrosse divisions and highlight the early contenders for the 2015 Tewaaraton Award.
Among 2015 watch lists returnees are five former finalists. Four of the five 2014 women’s finalists return to the watch list, including Megan Douty (Maryland), Shannon Gilroy (Florida), Kayla Treanor (Syracuse) and 2014 winner Taylor Cummings (Maryland). Last year’s co-winner, Lyle Thompson (Albany), returns on the men’s side.
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of premier collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation.
