The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2017 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 2017 Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour.

Among the 2017 watch list returnees are former finalists Connor Cannizzaro (Denver), Ben Reeves (Yale) and 2016 Tewaaraton winner Dylan Molloy (Brown) on the men’s side.

“It’s going to be another exciting year, our 17th for the Tewaaraton Award,” said Jeff Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. “On one hand we have our 2016 men’s winner in Dylan Molloy returning, and on the women’s side, Taylor Cummings has graduated after winning a record three straight. We can’t wait to see who emerges this year and gets invited to Washington, D.C. in early June.”

The Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour, 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.
