WASHINGTON, May 7, 2015 – The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the men’s and women’s finalists for the 2015 Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour. Five men and five women were selected as finalists and will be invited to Washington, D.C., for the 15th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony on May 28, 2015.
The five men’s finalists are University of Denver attackman Wesley Berg, Duke University midfielder Myles Jones, University of Notre Dame attackman Matt Kavanagh, Syracuse University attackman Kevin Rice and University at Albany attackman Lyle Thompson
The five women’s finalists are University of Maryland midfielder Taylor Cummings, University of Florida midfielder Shannon Gilroy, Boston College midfielder Sarah Mannelly, University of Notre Dame defender Barbara Sullivan and Syracuse University attacker Kayla Treanor.
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and top female college lacrosse player in the United States. Finalists come from a pool of 25 men’s and 25 women’s nominees. The selection committees are comprised of 15 men’s and 14 women’s current and former college coaches.
Syracuse attackman Kevin Rice, the ACC Offensive Player of the Year, tops the conference in points per game (4.85), assists per game (2.77) and game-winning goals (5). The senior from Skaneateles, N.Y., leads the Orange with 68 points and 39 assists, and earned his second consecutive all-conference selection. He scored 11 points in two games, including the semifinal game-winner, to claim ACC Championship MVP honors as Syracuse claimed the program's first league title. His per-game averages for assists and points rank third and sixth in the nation, respectively. Rice looks to join Michael Powell (2002, 2004) and Mike Leveille (2008) as Syracuse's Tewaaraton Award winners.
