Lacrosse's equivalent of the Heisman, released their finalists today:
WASHINGTON — The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the men’s and women’s finalists for the 2015 Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour. Five men and five women were selected as finalists and will be invited to Washington, D.C., for the 15th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony on May 28, 2015.
The five men’s finalists are University of Denver attackman Wesley Berg, Duke University midfielder Myles Jones, University of Notre Dame attackman Matt Kavanagh, Syracuse University attackman Kevin Rice and University at Albany attackman Lyle Thompson
The five women’s finalists are University of Maryland midfielder Taylor Cummings, University of Florida midfielder Shannon Gilroy, Boston College midfielder Sarah Mannelly, University of Notre Dame defender Barbara Sullivan and Syracuse University attacker Kayla Treanor.
Notre Dame junior attackman Matt Kavanagh leads the Irish in scoring with 26 goals, 24 assists and 50 points through the regular season. The Rockville Centre, N.Y., native earned All-ACC accolades for a second consecutive season, and ranks among the conference’s statistical leaders in assists per game (fourth, 2.20) and points per game (sixth, 4.30). He lifted the Irish to the ACC regular-season crown with two late goals in a memorable home win over North Carolina, and helped Notre Dame to the NCAA tournament’s No. 1 seed. Kavanagh joins Tom Glatzel (2001) as Notre Dame’s second Tewaaraton finalist, and would be the Irish’s first winner.
Notre Dame defender Barbara Sullivan rebounded after missing nearly the entire 2014 season with injury to claim ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors. She leads the Irish with 41 ground balls, paces the ACC with 34 caused turnovers, and has set school single-season and career records with 73 and 194 draw controls, respectively. The senior from Garden City, N.Y., was named to the All-ACC First Team and ACC All-Tournament Team as the Irish earned a spot in the NCAA tournament. Sullivan is Notre Dame’s first Tewaaraton finalist since Jillian Byers in 2009, and would be the program’s first winner.
