WASHINGTON, D.C. – Syracuse junior Alyssa Murray is one of five finalists for the 2013 Tewaaraton Award. The list of finalists was released by the Tewaaraton Foundation on Thursday, May 9. Murray becomes the third member of the Orange to be named a finalist for the award, which honors the top male and female collegiate lacrosse players in the nation.
Murray was named the BIG EAST Attack Player of the Year and was a unanimous selection to the All-BIG EAST First Team this season. She leads the team in points (90) and assists (34) and ranks second in goals (56). In the latest NCAA statistics, Murray ranks sixth in points and 10th in points per game and goals scored. She is the sixth player in school history to record 200 points in her career and ranks fifth on Syracuse's all-time scoring list with 238 points.
It marks the second consecutive year and third time overall that Syracuse has had a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award. Senior Michelle Tumolo (Mullica Hill, N.J.) was a finalist last season, while current assistant coach Katie Rowan '09 was a finalist in 2008.
The list of finalists also includes Maryland's Alex Aust and 2012 winner Katie Schwarzmann, Kara Cannizzaro of North Carolina and Mikey Meagher from Florida.
The five men's and women's finalists will be invited to the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony on May 30 at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.
