BALTIMORE, Md. – Senior attackman Mike Leveille (Delmar, N.Y.) and junior midfielder Dan Hardy (Tully, N.Y.) have been named to the 2008 Tewaaraton Trophy Watch List, which was released on Thursday, Feb. 21 by the Tewaaraton Award Foundation. Leveille and Hardy were two of 51 men’s lacrosse players, spanning all three NCAA divisions, to make the list.
Both players got off to excellent starts in SU’s season-opening win against Villanova on Feb. 17. Leveille recorded six points on two goals and four assists to extend his consecutive games with a point streak to 40. Hardy registered a hat trick and dished out an assist in the win.
The Tewaaraton Trophy has been presented to the nation’s Most Outstanding Player each year since 2001. Syracuse attackman Mike Powell is the only player to win the award twice, taking home the trophy in 2002 and 2004. Duke’s Matt Danowski won the honor in 2007 and is a nominee again this season.
The award will be handed out on May 29 at the eighth annual awards ceremony that will take place at the National Museum of the American Indian.
Leveille, Hardy and the rest of the Orange look to improve to 2-0 on the young season when they host Army Sunday, Feb. 24 at 3:30 p.m. in the Carrier Dome.
