WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Tewaaraton Men's Coaches Committee has announced that four more players - Rutgers attackman Keith Cromwell, Maryland goalie Pat McGinnis, Georgetown midfielder Steve Dusseau, and Notre Dame attackman Tom Glatzel - have been names candidates for the Tewaaraton Trophy.
The Tewaaraton Trophy is the most cherished and prestigious award a varsity lacrosse player can receive and a symbol of excellence in college lacrosse. The award will be given to the top male and female college players in a ceremony at the University Club on June 6.
"The consensus among the coaches on the men's committee was that these players have really established themselves the last three weeks," said Tewaaraton men's committee chair Ritchie Moran. "With the 15 candidates we selected at the beginning of the season, we now have the best players in the country as candidates for the award."
About the new candidates:
* Glatzel, a senior from Baltimore, Maryland (Boys Latin), leads Notre Dame with 43 points on 29 goals and 14 assists in ten games for the fifth-ranked Fighting Irish. He has been instrumental in ND wins over Virginia and Notre Dame. He currently ranks seventh in Division I in points per game with 4.30
* Another senior from Baltimore (Loyola), Pat McGinnis currently leads the nation in save percentage for the third-ranked Terrapins, and he is second in the nation in goals allowed with 5.93 per game.

These four players join Syracuse's Josh Coffman, John Glatzel, Rob Mulligan and Mike Springer, Virginia's Conor Gill and Mark Koontz, Notre Dame's Dave Ulrich, Middlebury's Holt Hopkins, Harvard's Roger Buttles, Princeton's Trevor Tierney, Johns Hopkins' Conor Denihan, Hofstra's Doug Shanahan, Duke's Chris Hartofilis, North Carolina's Jeff Sonke and CW Post's RJ Degenfelder as candidates for the award.
The men's committee will meet again on May 22 to narrow the 19 candidates to five finalists for the award. The women's committee will do the same, and male and female winners will be chosen from the ten finalists at a ceremony at The University Club in Washington DC on June 6.
