Cream of Crop: Tewaaraton Finalists Announced
from staff reports
The race for the Heisman Trophy of lacrosse, the Tewaaraton Award, has entered its home stretch. Five men and five women remain in standing for the Tewaaraton Trophy, awarded annually to the top men's and women's collegiate lacrosse players.
While no defensemen has ever won the Tewaaraton, two of the five men's finalists are long poles: Virginia's Ken Clausen and Syracuse's Joel White. There are also two Canadian finalists: Delaware's Curtis Dickson and Stony Brook's Kevin Crowley. Duke's Ned Crotty, a fifth-year senior and preseason favorite, rounds out the top five. Clausen and Dickson are also seniors. Crowley and White are juniors.
On the women's side, preseason favorite Caitlyn McFadden of Maryland highlights an all-senior field of finalists. Also included are Ali DeLuca, who this year became Penn's all-time leading scorer and Virginia's Brittany Kalkstein, who became the NCAA's all-time leader for draw controls. Northwestern's Katrina Dowd and North Carolina's Jenn Russell are also finalists.
