Davis-Allen, Heacock and Rambo have had incredible success in College Park as team members, advancing to three NCAA semifinals and two championship games. They have also compiled a 49-11 (.817) record, and need just seven wins to break the Maryland record for victories by a senior class.
Davis-Allen was a USILA First Team All-American at short stick defensive midfield in 2016, serving as the nation's premier defensive midfielder. A two-time team captain, Davis-Allen is a 2017 Preseason First Team All-American and has totaled 13 ground balls through four games.
A 2016 USILA Honorable Mention All-American, Heacock currently ranks second on the team with 16 points on nine goals and seven assists. Currently carrying a 21-game point streak, the Cockeysville, Md., native is shooting at a 43-percent clip and ranks fourth in the Big Ten Conference in points (4.0/g).
Rambo was a 2016 USILA Second Team All-American and has lived up to every bit of his billing in 2017, totaling 22 points on 11 goals and 11 assists through four games. The Glenside, Pa., native has tallied a point in 43 straight games (fourth-longest in the NCAA), an assist in 15 straight games and a goal in 12 straight games (t-sixth longest in the NCAA). He also ranks sixth in Maryland history in career goals (124) and tied for seventh in career points (192).
Players not named to the initial lists have several opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch list additions, if applicable, will be announced on March 16 and April 6. On April 27, the field will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees. Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.
Five men's and five women's finalists will be announced on May 11 and invited to the ceremony. The 17th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony will be held in Washington, D.C., on June 1.
