4/2/2021 1:26:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
Syracuse's leading-scorer Stephen Rehfuss was added to the Tewaaraton Watch List on Friday afternoon, an award which honors the best player in college lacrosse
Â
Rehfuss joins teammates Brendan Curry, Tucker Dordevic and Jamie Trimboli, who were all named to the first Tewaaraton Award Watch List in March. The four 'Cuse players ties Duke for the national lead.
Â
Rehfuss, one of five captains, leads the Orange in points so far this season, recording 15 goals and 16 assists for a total of 31 points. The All-American attackman averages 2.5 goals and 2.67 assists per game, scoring at least two goals in every game so far this season. He also recorded a season-high six assists against Vermont. He enters Saturday's game vs. Notre Dame 10th in program history with 96 career assists.
Â
 After transferring from Holy Cross in 2017, Rehfuss has played in every game of his Syracuse career and led the team in assists for the past three consecutive years (2018, 2019, 2020). Throughout his career, he has recorded 163 points (67 goals, 96 assists). He's also established himself as more of a goal-scoring threat this, at his current pace he'd shatter his prior best single-season goals total.
Â
In addition to earning All-American honors in 2020, Rehfuss was also a recipient of the Doris Soladay Award, which is Syracuse's highest honor for student-athletes and is a 2021 ACC Postgraduate Scholarship recipient.
Â
The Tewaaraton Award Watch List will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees on April 23. The five finalists will be announced in early May, and the Tewaaraton Award recipients will be chosen at the conclusion of the collegiate lacrosse season.
