WASHINGTON, DC, Feb. 14 — The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2024 Tewaaraton Award Women’s and Men’s Watch Lists. The list includes the top players in college lacrosse and highlights the early contenders for the 2024 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,” said Andy Phillips, president of the Tewaaraton Foundation. “We look forward to watching them achieve new heights this season for both themselves and their teammates.”
