About the Tewaaraton
The Tewaaraton Award is given annually to the top male and female college lacrosse players in the country. While the lacrosse community knows this honor well, those outside the sport may not, which is why you often see "the Heisman of lacrosse" noted after mentioning the award. Tewaaraton (pronounced teh-war-a-ton) is the word for "lacrosse" in the Mohawk language. The Iroquois Nation is believed to be the founder of the sport.
The Tewaaraton foundation is a nonprofit organization tasked with fulfilling the mission of the Tewaaraton Award. This includes recognizing excellence in the sport of lacrosse by annually honoring the most outstanding men's and women's college players and legends of the game. Honoring the Native American heritage of the sport through the Awards name and by integrating Native American traditions and culture throughout the program. Giving back to the Native American community in a meaningful way through educational scholarships and youth development.
The winner of the 2023 Tewaaraton Award will be presented on a to be determined date after the national championship for both men and women. Previous winners of the Tewaaraton Award include Charlotte North, Boston College (2021, 2022), Megan Taylor, Maryland (2019), Sam Apuzzo, Boston College (2018), and Zoe Stukenberg, Maryland (2017).
