New for
the 2011-2012 seasons, the America East Daily Word, a collaboration between
AmericaEast.com and AExtra, will recap the previous day's games and on goings
on our nine campuses and provide links to previews, recaps, features and
exclusive coverage.
The Tewaaraton Award, given to the
Player of the Year in both men’s and women’s lacrosse, could go to an America
East player after the Watch Lists were announced on Wednesday. Five men and two
women are up for consideration to receive college lacrosse’s top honor.
America East lacrosse is no stranger
to the Tewaaraton Award. Stony Brook’s Kevin Crowley was one of five finalists
for the award two seasons ago.
This year, members from five of six
conference men’s lacrosse squads cracked the list: Carter Bender of the
defending champion Hartford Hawks, UMBC’s Rob Grimm, Albany’s Joe Resetarits,
Stony Brook’s Jeff Tundo and Binghamton’s Ben Waldron.
Bender and Resetarits both heard
their names called in the 2012 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft back in
January.
For the women, Albany’s Arian
Parker, who scored 44 goals last season as a freshman, and Boston University’s
Danielle Etrasco, the conference’s 2011 Co-Player of the Year, made the list.
Check out the full lists for the men
and women.
