Morissette named to the watch list for the second straight season
LOUISVILLE, KY. -- The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2016 Tewaaraton Award women's watch list. Louisville senior midfielder Kaylin Morissette is one of 50 players named to the watch list for the second straight year. The list includes the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlight the early contenders for the 2016 Tewaaraton Award, presented by Under Armour.
Â
Morissette was recently selected as a preseason Lacrosse Magazine All-American and to the preseason All-ACC Team. The senior leads the Cardinals in scoring so far this season with 11 goals and four assists for 15 points. She also leads the team in draw controls with 46 so far this season.Â
Â
Last season she was named a first team IWLCA All-American and a first team All-ACC selection. As a junior she became the all-time draw controls leader with 418 and ranked second in the nation in draw controls in 2015 with 10.17 per game. She led the team with 62 points, scoring 44 goals and dishing out 18 assists. She registered seven hat tricks and led the team in assists during the 2015 campaign. She finished her first season in the ACC ranked in the top 11 of goals, goals per game, points and draw controls. She was also a first team Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Association All-West Region selection.
Â
"The national reach of quality players is evident in this list, with players from all regions of the country, along with a strong group of six former winners and finalists," said Jeff Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. "As the season unfolds, we are excited for another deserving group of Tewaaraton Award candidates to emerge and we look forward to welcoming them to Washington, D.C. in early June."
Â
The Tewaaraton Award presented by Under Armour annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of premier collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation.
Â
Players not named to the initial list have several opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch list additions, if applicable, will be announced on March 17 and April 7. On April 28, the field will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees. Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions. Five men's and five women's finalists will be announced on May 12 and invited to the ceremony. The 16th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony will be held in Washington, D.C., on June 2.
