WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2023 women’s Tewaaraton Award Nominees. The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award, annually honoring the top male and female college lacrosse players in the United States. The selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.

Five women’s finalists will be selected from this group, to be announced May 11 at the conclusion of the regular season. 

“The Tewaaraton Nominees are an extraordinary group of athletes,” said Andy Phillips, President of the Tewaaraton Foundation. “Their talent is taking the excitement of college lacrosse to a new level, and we are eager to watch the Nominees and their teammates perform over the closing stretch of the 2023 season.”

This year’s list of women’s Tewaaraton Award Nominees features players from 14 different schools, led by Northwestern with four players, Syracuse with three, and two each for Boston College, Denver, Florida, James Madison, Loyola and Notre Dame. In all, seven players return from the 2022 list of nominees. Former finalists from 2022 (Meaghan Tyrrell, Syracuse) and 2021 (Izzy Scane, Northwestern) are among this year’s Nominees.

The 2023 Tewaaraton Watch Lists were first unveiled February 10, with additions announced March 9 and March 30. The five men’s finalists will be announced May 11 and will be invited to the Tewaaraton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C., on June 1.
