Five Tar Heels Make Final Tewaaraton Award Watch List
March 31, 2020 | Women's Lacrosse
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Five North Carolina women's lacrosse players were selected to the final 2020 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, the Tewaaraton Foundation announced Tuesday.
Senior attacker Katie Hoeg, redshirt junior goalkeeper Taylor Moreno, junior attacker Jamie Ortega and junior defender Emma Trenchard were on the preseason list, released in February. Joining them on the final 56-player list was junior midfielder Scottie Rose Growney, one of six additions made on March 11.
The Tar Heels' five selections tied with Notre Dame for the most among all schools.
The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award, annually honoring the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States.
In light of the canceled NCAA lacrosse season, the Tewaaraton Award annual ceremony that was scheduled for May 28 at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., will not be held, and no college awards will be presented in 2020. And while the Foundation will also postpone recognition of the Legends and Spirit honorees until 2021, plans will continue to award the 2020 Tewaaraton Native American Scholarships, presented by U.S. Lacrosse.
The final 2020 Tewaaraton Watch Lists include the top student-athletes in NCAA lacrosse this season, including the initial preseason lists and the first round of additions on March 11.
"There is disappointment throughout college lacrosse and, in particular, those who are seniors who will not return. This was to be our 20th Tewaaraton Award Ceremony and while we share in the disappointment, we also hope our achievement of 20 years following our first 2001 event serves as a reminder of how we will look ahead," said Jeffrey Harvey, chairman of the Tewaaraton Foundation. "We take this opportunity to acknowledge and honor all the 2020 graduates for their dedication and passion for the sport of lacrosse."
The Tewaaraton Award selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.
