Loyola attackman Pat Spencer, a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award the last two seasons, headlined the 50 players named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List. The Watch List was revealed during a ceremony in New York City.
Spencer, who already holds Loyola’s school record for career assists with 178, has 26 points (14g, 12a) through the first four games for the Greyhounds. He needs just 20 more points to become the school’s all-time leading scorer.
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.
Players not named to the initial lists have several opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch list additions, if applicable, will be announced on March 21 and April 4. On April 25, the field will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees. Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.
Five men's and five women's finalists will be announced on May 9 and invited to the ceremony. The 19th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony will be held in Washington, D.C., on May 30.
