Syracuse midfielder Brendan Curry and defender Nick Mellen made the initial 50-man Tewaaraton Award watchlist. The Tewaaraton is annually awarded to the best player in college lacrosse.
Mellen, a redshirt junior, makes the list for the second year running. Curry, a sophomore, is on the list for the first time.
Since the inaugural Tewaaraton was awarded in 2000, a Syracuse player has won it three times. Mike Powell won two (2002 and 2004), and Mike Leveille was honored in 2008.
Curry is the Orange’s current points leader with 10 (six goals, four assists). Mellen has played the role of cover man for the Orange, locking on to an opponent’s top scoring option.
No. 12 Syracuse (2-1) hosts No. 13 Virginia (2-2) at noon in the Carrier Dome on Saturday.
