03/01/2019 | Men's Lacrosse
RICHMOND, Va. – University of Richmond senior attack Teddy Hatfield (Summit, N.J.) has been selected to the 2019 Tewaaraton Award Watch List as announced by the Tewaaraton Foundation Friday. The lists include the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlights the early contenders for the 2019 Tewaaraton Award.
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of premier collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation.
Hatfield, a preseason All-Southern Conference selection, became Richmond and the SoCon's all-time scorer last year in just three years. Hatfield enters Friday's game against No. 6 Duke with 171 career points, while also holding the Spider record with 75 assists. He is tied for second all-time in Richmond history with 96 goals scored, just three behind current record-holder and assistant coach Mitch Goldberg (99 goals). He earned First Team All-SoCon honors last when he led the team in scoring with 59 points, recording a team-high 34 goals and dishing out 25 assists.
Hatfield has been strong to start the 2019 season, leading the Spiders to a national ranking just four games into the season. Richmond, ranked as high as No. 11 in one poll this year, boasts a 3-1 overall record including a win over then No. 6 Notre Dame last weekend. Hatfield leads the Spiders with 20 points in the first four games, scoring 10 goals and handing out 10 assists.
Players not named to the initial lists have several opportunities to play their way into a spot as the season progresses. Watch list additions, if applicable, will be announced on March 21 and April 4. On April 25, the field will be narrowed to 25 men's and 25 women's nominees. Nominees can be players on the watch lists or players not on the watch lists, effectively allowing for a third round of additions.
Five men's and five women's finalists will be announced on May 9 and invited to the 19th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony in Washington, D.C., on May 30.
