3/11/2021 1:01:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Three members of the No. 9 Maryland women's lacrosse team were named to the initial Tewaaraton Watch List, as announced by the Tewaaraton Foundation Thursday afternoon.
Maryland's captains: Lizzie Colson, Brindi Griffin and Grace Griffin were all selected for the watch list.
Each Terp named to the list was selected as a preseason All-American by Inside Lacrosse and were Maryland's Big Ten Players to Watch.
This is the second time that each of Colson, B. Griffin and G. Griffin have been selected to the watch list. Colson was on the list in 2019 while B. Griffin and G. Griffin were named to the list in the shortened 2020 season.
Colson currently stands fourth in the country and leads the Big Ten with three caused turnovers per game (nine overall), G. Griffin leads Maryland with seven groundballs and stands second on the team with seven goals while B. Griffin has five points (four goals, one assist) through three games this year.
Maryland has won eight of the last 10 Tewaaraton awards, with Megan Taylor becoming the first goalie in lacrosse history to win the award in 2019. Before that, Zoe Stukenberg took home the prestigious award in 2017, Taylor Cummings won three straight from 2014-16 and Katie Schwarzmann became the first two-time winner for Maryland in 2012-13. Caitlyn McFadden started the eight-for-10 streak for Maryland, garnering the award in 2010. Jen Adams won the inaugural Tewaaraton in 2001.
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of premier collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation.
Players not named to this initial list will have opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch list additions will be announced on April 2, before the field will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees on April 23. Nominees can be players from the watch lists or not from the watch lists, effectively allowing for a second round of additions.
Five men's and five women's finalists will be announced in early May. The Tewaaraton Award recipients will be chosen after the conclusion of the collegiate lacrosse season.
