The Tewaaraton Foundation announced Thursday that it has added 11 players to the Tewaaraton Award watch list, and four of them have ties to the state.
No. 5 Maryland had two players put on the list: redshirt junior goalkeeper Kyle Bernlohr and senior defenseman Caskey Ikeda. No. 14 Loyola Maryland is represented by junior attackman Zach Herreweyers, and Navy by sophomore faceoff specialist Brady Dove.
Those four players join the original list of 50 unveiled by the Tewaaraton Foundation on Feb. 26.
That group includes three from No. 20 Johns Hopkins in junior attackman Ryan Brown (Sykesville/Calvert Hall), senior long-stick midfielder Michael Pellegrino and senior attackman Wells Stanwick (Baltimore/Boys' Latin); and one each from the Greyhounds in senior attackman Nikko Pontrello, the Terps in senior faceoff specialist Charlie Raffa, and Towson in redshirt senior midfielder Andrew Hodgson.
Other players on the list with ties to the Baltimore area include Tufts senior attackman Cole Bailey (Millersville/Severn), Duke junior midfielder Deemer Class (Baltimore/Loyola), Virginia senior midfielder Ryan Tucker (Towson/Gilman) and Bryant junior goalkeeper Gunnar Waldt (Freeland/St. Paul's).
Bailey is the only Division III player on the list.
With the addition of sophomore faceoff specialist Ben Williams, Syracuse now leads all schools with five players on the list. No. 2 North Carolina, No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 7 Virginia are tied for second with four players each on the list.
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.
