The Tewaaraton Foundation announced Thursday night the 50 players on the Tewaaraton Award watch list, and three Johns Hopkins players were named.
Junior attackman Ryan Brown (Calvert Hall), senior long-stick midfielder Michael Pellegrino and senior attackman Wells Stanwick (Boys' Latin) are on the list. The Blue Jays had the most players on the list among area programs.
Maryland, Loyola Maryland and Towson each have one player on the list. The Terps are represented by senior faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa, the Greyhounds by senior attackman Nikko Pontrello, and the Tigers by redshirt senior midfielder Andrew Hodgson.
Other players on the list with ties to the Baltimore area are Tufts senior attackman Cole Bailey (Severn), Duke junior midfielder Deemer Class (Loyola), Virginia senior midfielder Ryan Tucker (Gilman) and Bryant junior goalkeeper Gunnar Waldt (St. Paul's). Bailey is the only Division III player on the list.
Notre Dame and Syracuse lead all schools with four players on the list. In addition to Johns Hopkins, North Carolina and Virginia are each represented by three players.
The Tewaaraton Award is annually given to the top player in college lacrosse. Last year's honor was shared by Albany attackmen and brothers Miles and Lyle Thompson, marking the first time in the award's history that it had been split between two players.
Lyle Thompson, a senior attackman who set the NCAA single-season scoring record with 128 points last spring, is the only 2014 finalist on the list again.
