NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Vanderbilt seniors Sarah Downing and Alex Mundy were named to the Women’s 2010 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, the Greater Washington Sports Alliance announced this week.
The list is made up of the top lacrosse players across all three divisions of collegiate lacrosse and is comprised of the early hopefuls for the 2010 Tewaaraton Trophy.
Downing currently leads the Commodores with nine goals, while totaling nine ground balls and four caused turnovers. In 2009, she was a first-team All-American as she set school records for goals scored (55) and points (81).
Mundy has been a defensive force this season for the `Dores, recording eight ground balls and six caused turnovers. Last season she was named a third-team All-American for her play, leading Vanderbilt in ground balls.
The Tewaaraton Award was formally established in 2000 and is the preeminent lacrosse award, which is given annually to the NCAA men’s and women’s lacrosse player of the year.
The award will be presented on June 3, 2010 at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
