Six Orange on Final Tewaaraton Watch List
3/31/2020 3:24:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
Two Syracuse seniors were added to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List on Tuesday to honor their play through the first-five games of the shortened 2020 season.
Jamie Trimboli and Drake Porter were added in today's additions. They joined Chase Scanlan, Brendan Curry, Tucker Dordevic and Nick Mellen, who were on the preseason watch list.
The Tewaaraton will not be awarded this year due to the cancellation of the season amid the global COVID-19 pandemic. Syracuse's six honorees were two more than the next-most represented school (Virginia, 4).
Trimboli notched 17 goals this season and his 3.4 goals per game led all midfielders nationally. The 'Cuse senior has the third-most career points among midfielders at Syracuse in the last decade, despite a shortened season. He wrapped up 2020 with 75 career goals and 99 career assists.
Porter led the ACC in save percentage this season, stopping 57.7-percent of the shots he faced. That number ranked 12th nationally. He was also second in the ACC with 12.8 saves per game and a 9.65 goals against average.
After missing all of 2019 due to injury, Dordevic was coming back into form in the final two games before the season was cut short. The redshirt-sophomore scored eight goals and 10 points in the two final games of the year, including a team-best seven points in the Hobart game.
Curry posted 17 points (14-3) through five games. He and linemates Dordevic and Trimboli were on pace to be the third-most productive midfield line by points-per-game in Syracuse history. The trio was behind just the 1990 (11.9 points per game) and 1988 (11.1) squads' pace, which were headlined by the Gait twins. The current Orange group (10.2) sat just ahead of the 1994 group (9.9) of Roy Colsey, Charlie Lockwood and Dom Fin – all three of those players are in the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
Scanlan debuted in style, scoring seven goals in the season opener vs. Colgate. He finished the shortened season leading the Orange with 18 goals and 23 points. His 3.6 goals per game ranked second in the ACC and he also had the sixth-best shooting percentage in the league, finding the back of the net on 46.2 percent of his shots.
Mellen was injured in the first game of the season vs. Colgate and was working his way back into the rotation when the season was halted.
