Tar Heel Senior Trio Named To Tewaaraton List
February 27, 2015 | Men's Lacrosse
NEW YORK, N.Y. – The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2015 Tewaaraton Award men's watch list Thursday night. The lists include the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlight the early contenders for the 2015 Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour.
Three outstanding senior members of the 2015 University of North Carolina men's lacrosse team, currently ranked #4 in the nation, are on the Watch List. The group includes senior attackman Jimmy Bitter of Stowe, Vermont, senior attackman Joey Sankey of Warminster, Pa., and senior midfielder Chad Tutton of Courtice, Ontario. All three are off to magnificent starts in 2015 as they move up the UNC career scoring charts. Both Bitter and Sankey scored their 100th career goals last Saturday versus Johns Hopkins. Tutton needs one more point to reach 100 points for his career, joining his two senior linemates in the starting offensive unit.
“The national reach of quality players is evident in this list, with players from all regions of the country, along with a strong group of five former winners and finalists,” said Jeff Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. “As the season unfolds, we are excited for another deserving group of Tewaaraton Award candidates to emerge and we look forward to welcoming them to Washington, DC in May.”
