Tewaaraton list narrowed down to 26
The list of candidates in the running to win this year's Tewaaraton Trophy, which is given to college lacrosse's top player, has been narrowed down to 26 players.
No. 5 Maryland has two players on that list in junior attackman Grant Catalino and redshirt junior long-stick midfielder Brian Farrell. No. 7 Loyola is represented by junior goalkeeper Jake Hagelin, while Navy has a candidate in sophomore goalie R.J. Wickham.
Also, sophomore defenseman Sam Miller of Salisbury is listed, but I'm thinking that's a mistake. I think the foundation meant to nominate sophomore midfielder Sam Bradman.
No. 1 Virginia and No. 2 Syracuse lead all schools with four players each on the list. Senior midfielder Brian Carroll (Gilman), senior defenseman Ken Clausen, junior midfielder Shamel Bratton and sophomore attackman Steele Stanwick (Loyola) represent the Cavaliers, while senior attackman Cody Jamieson, junior goalkeeper John Galloway, junior midfielder Jeremy Thompson and sophomore long-stick midfielder Joel White lead the Orange.
No. 6 Duke has three candidates in senior attackmen Ned Crotty and Max Quinzani and senior defenseman Parker McKee. No. 3 North Carolina is the only other school with multiple representatives in junior attackman Billy Bitter and junior defenseman Ryan Flanagan.
