Tewaaraton Foundation Announces First Additions to 2023 Men's Watch List
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the first round of additions to the 2023 Tewaaraton Award Men’s Watch List. The lists include the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlight the early contenders for this year’s Tewaaraton Award.
“We’ve seen an exciting, action-packed start to the 2023 season. These players have distinguished themselves and earned their way onto our 2023 Watch Lists,” said Andy Phillips, President of the Tewaaraton Foundation. “The Tewaaraton Foundation would like to congratulate these players on their outstanding play thus far, and we wish them and their teams the best of luck for the rest of this season.”
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.
Players not named to the initial list or this round of additions will have more opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. The second round of Watch List additions will be announced on March 31, before the field will be narrowed to 25 men’s and 25 women’s nominees on April 20. Nominees can be players from the Watch Lists or not from the Watch Lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.
Five men’s and five women’s finalists will be announced in early May and will be invited to the Tewaaraton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C., on June 1.
See the first-round additions below and continue on to see the initial 50 players announced on February 10.
