The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2023 Tewaaraton Award men’s and women’s Watch Lists. The lists include the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlight the early contenders for the 2023 Tewaaraton Award.
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.
