The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the second round of additions to the 2019 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 this year’s Tewaaraton Award.

“We congratulate this talented group for their outstanding performances,” said Jeffrey Harvey, Chairman of the Tewaaraton Award. “These players have proved they deserve to be in the conversation for lacrosse’s top award and we wish them the very best the remainder of the season.”

The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.

The mission of the foundation includes honoring the Native American heritage of the game of lacrosse through its annual award, scholarships and educational content. We congratulate Loyola freshman Chase Scanlan of the Seneca Nation of Indians, who joins Albany’s Tehoka Nanticoke of Six Nations as the second Native American student-athlete on the 2019 Watch List.
