<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n(Hamilton, NY \u2013 Feb. 22, 2013) Senior Peter Baum and sophomore Ryan Walsh are Colgate\u2019s initial representatives on the 2013 Tewaaraton Award men\u2019s watch list that was released Friday.<\/p>\n
Baum, of course, won the 2012 Tewaaraton Award presented to the nation\u2019s most outstanding player. He led the nation with 67 goals and 97 points, and was the first Colgate, Patriot League and West Coast player to take home the honor.<\/p>\n
Baum and Walsh have helped spearhead the Raiders offensive attack through the first two games of 2013. Baum owns five goals and three assists for eight points \u2013 sparked by his 28th career hat trick last Saturday at Vermont \u2013 while Walsh has three goals and four assists for seven points. Colgate leads the Patriot League in goals (13.5) and shots (50.0) per game after victories over Bryant and Vermont.<\/p>\n
Colgate plays at Dartmouth this Saturday trying for its first 3-0 start to a season since 1993.<\/p>\n
In addition to Baum, this week\u2019s watch list includes 2012 finalists Will Manny of Massachusetts and Mike Sawyer of Loyola, along with 2011 finalist Rob Pannell of Cornell.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe national reach of quality players is evident in this list, with players from all regions of the country, along with a strong group of eight former winners and finalists,\u201d said Jeff Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. \u201cAs the season unfolds, we are excited for another deserving group of Tewaaraton Award candidates to emerge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Each year, the Tewaaraton Award celebrates one of the six tribal nations of the Iroquois Confederacy \u2013 the Mohawk, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Tuscarora. While 2013 is The Year of the Mohawk, the men\u2019s watch list includes three members of the Onondaga Nation in Lyle, Miles and Ty Thompson from Albany.<\/p>\n
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and top female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of top collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation. Committees will make additions to these lists as the season progresses and athletes earn a spot alongside these elite players. Both lists will be narrowed to 25 men\u2019s and women\u2019s nominees in late April. In mid-May, five men\u2019s and five women\u2019s finalists will be announced.<\/p>\n
These finalists will be invited to Washington, D.C., for the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony, May 30 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian.<\/p>\n
