2/10/2022 7:54:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
COLLEGE PARK, MD – Logan Wisnauskas, Brett Makar and Kyle Long were all named to the Tewaaraton Watch List as announced by the organization Thursday.
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 March 11 and April 1, before the field will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees on April 21. Nominees can be players from the watch lists or not from the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third 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.
Jared Bernhardt became Maryland's third Tewaaraton winner last season after breaking the program's single-season points (99) and goals (71) record.
Wisnauskas was named to the Midseason Watch List last season during an impressive 2021 campaign, and the fifth year senior is primed for another standout year in College Park. The Sykesville, MD native put up eight points on five goals and three assists in Maryland's season opener last weekend. Wisnauskas is currently second in the nation in career goals (149) and third in career points (245).
Makar put together a breakout year last season for the Terps on the defensive end, totaling 48 ground balls and 15 caused turnovers on his way to a Second Team All-American nod from Inside Lacrosse. The Yorktown Heights, NY helped pace Maryland's defensive unit to just over 10 goals allowed per game, and consistently drew the opposition's toughest assignment every game. The senior was also named First Team All-Big Ten and a 2021 Big Ten All-Tournament Team nominee.
Long will be a focal point of Maryland's first midfield line once again this season, a year removed from a breakout junior campaign where he was named a Third Team All-American by Inside Lacrosse. The Springfield, PA native started in all 16 games ranking fourth on the team in points (44) and tied for second on the team in assists (28).
