The Tewaaraton Foundation announced on Friday the first 50 women’s players named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List.

The lists include the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlights 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.

“These student-athletes represent the very best at the collegiate level and have honored the Creator's game with their past play,” Andy Phillips, president of the Tewaaraton Foundation, said. “We look forward to watching them achieve new heights this season for both themselves and their teammates.”

The list will be updated multiple times throughout the spring before a group of finalists are selected in May.

Players not named to this initial list will have opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch List additions will be announced on March 7 and March 28, before the field will be narrowed to 25 men’s and 25 women’s nominees on April 18. 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. The Tewaaraton Award recipients will be chosen after the conclusion of the collegiate lacrosse season.
