WASHINGTON, D.C. – Coming down the stretch for the 2023 regular season, Syracuse University men's lacrosse standout Will Mark has been named one of 25 Tewaaraton Award Nominees, released by the Tewaaraton Foundation Thursday afternoon.
Mark, who hails from Danville, California, is one of the nation's top netminders. Through April 18, Mark ranks fifth nationally in save percentage (.569) and seventh in saves per game (14.00). He leads the ACC in both categories. Mark was one of two goalies listed among the 25 Tewaaraton Nominees with eight players named from the ACC.
This season, Mark has 11 games with double-digit saves, including a season-best 22 against No. 5 Duke on March 5. Through his collegiate career, Mark has turned aside 681 opponent shots, which ranks second among active goalkeepers.
Five men's lacrosse student-athletes will be selected from the list of nominees as finalists on May 11.
No. 13/No. 12 Syracuse continues its road stretch this weekend with an ACC clash in Charlottesville, Virginia. Game time for Saturday's tilt at Klöckner Stadium is set for 2 p.m. on ESPNU. Chris Cotter and Paul Carcaterra '97 will have the call.
