The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2022 men’s and women’s Tewaaraton Award Nominees Presented by AXIA Time. The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award, annually honoring 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.

Five men’s and five women’s finalists will be selected from these groups, to be announced in three weeks at the conclusion of the regular season. 

“The Tewaaraton Nominees are an extraordinary group of athletes,” said Andy Phillips, President of the Tewaaraton Foundation. “The depth and dispersion of talent in college lacrosse has never been greater, and we are excited to watch the Nominees perform over the closing stretch of the 2022 season.”

The men’s Tewaaraton Award Nominees Presented by AXIA Time include players from 19 different schools, led by three each from Georgetown and Maryland. In all, nine men’s players return from last year’s list of nominees, including 2021 finalists Chris Gray (UNC) and Patrick Kavanagh (Notre Dame).
