Ohlmiller Named Tewaaraton Finalist for Second Time
BOSTON – For the second time in as many years, Kylie Ohlmiller has been named a finalist for college lacrosse’s most prestigious award. The Stony Brook senior is among the top-five female candidates for the 2018 Tewaaraton Award, which is given to the top male and female college lacrosse players in the country.
Ohlmiller was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2018 America East Women’s Lacrosse Championship for the third time in her four-year career just last weekend. She broke the NCAA Division I career records for points (478) and assists (240) earlier in the season and ranks atop the national leaderboard in points per game this season (7.6). Ohlmiller also leads the country with 64 assists and guided the Seawolves to the top of the national polls for the first time in program history.
The four-time First Team All-Conference selection was named America East Offensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season and helped Stony Brook to its sixth-consecutive America East championship and subsequent No. 5 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Ohlmiller became the first America East women's representative at the award ceremony when she was named a finalist in 2017. The senior will be joined by Boston College's Sam Apuzzo, James Madison's Kristen Gaudian, North Carolina's Marie McCool and Maryland's Megan Whittle this year at the Tewaaraton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C. on May 31.
