3. Meaghan Tyrrell, A, Syracuse
The Orange are 3-0, and Tyrrell has been a huge part of their fast starrt. Tyrrell starred in the first week of the season with eight points –– including six assists –– against Northwestern. She had another stellar performance last weekend, notching six goals and five assists as Syracuse handled Maryland. Tyrrell will be key to anchoring the Orange attack as they put the pieces together following a series of injuries in 2022.
4. Ellie Masera, M, Stony Brook
Masera dominated as a sophomore in 2022, totaling 100 draw controls and 58 goals. She built on that with a powerful performance in the Seawolves’ season opener against Michigan last weekend, tallying four goals, one caused turnover, three ground balls and seven draw controls. Her efforts were key to a dominant 17-10 victory against a ranked opponent. The USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason Midfielder of the Year, Masera should continue to turn heads.
5. Sarah Reznick, G, Florida
Reznick is already beginning to build on a masterful 2022 campaign with the Gators. She was key as Florida dismantled Michigan on February 12, notching 12 saves while allowing 8 goals. While North Carolina easily handled the Gators last weekend, Reznick still delivered a defensive masterclass. She made 14 saves while allowing 12 goals, posting a .538 save rate. This marks Reznick’s third season on the official Tewaaraton Award Watchlist, and she’s certain to continue living up to the hype.
Next five: Belle Smith, M, Boston College; Reilly Casey, A, North Carolina; Maddie Jenner, A/Draw, Duke; Kasey Choma, M, Notre Dame; Alecia Nicholas, G, North Carolina
