Sowers Named Tewaaraton Award Finalist
5/14/2021 9:14:00 AM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM –Duke attackman Michael Sowers has been named one of the five finalists for the 2021 Tewaaraton Award as announced by the Tewaaraton Foundation Friday. The award is presented annually to the top men and women's lacrosse players.
A native of Dresher, Pa., this is Sowers' second time being a finalist for the prestigious award, earning recognition in 2019 as a junior at Princeton.
Sowers becomes the ninth Blue Devil to earn the distinction of being a Tewaaraton Award finalist. Two Blue Devils have won the award – Matt Danowski (2007) and Ned Crotty (2010). The other four finalists are Jared Bernhardt (Maryland), Jake Carraway (Georgetown), Chris Gray (North Carolina), Pat Kavanagh (Notre Dame),
A three-time ACC Offensive Player of the Week honoree, Sowers headlines the Duke attack with 30 goals and 37 assists for 67 points. His 37 assists currently rank ninth in Duke single-season history. He has scored at least three points in 12 of Duke's 14 games this season and most recently had seven in the setback to North Carolina.
In his previous three outings, the veteran attackman has eight goals and seven assists for 15 points. Overall, Sowers has scored five-plus points in nine games, including six against Syracuse and five in the win over Notre Dame. He averaged 3.83 points per game to help Duke earn a share of the ACC title and landed him on the 2021 All-ACC Team.
Joining the Blue Devils after four seasons at Princeton, Sowers has scored at least one point in all 61 games of his career and has 369 for his career. He currently ranks third in NCAA history in career points and fourth in career assists (218). Sowers is one of five players in NCAA history to record 200 career assists and is 14 shy of the record held by Pat Spencer. His career scoring average of 6.05 ranks fifth all-time.
The presentation of the 2021 men's and women's Tewaaraton recipients will be made during halftime of the 5 p.m Premier Lacrosse League game between Whipsnakes and Chaos on June 5 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Network.
The Tewaaraton recipients will be chosen at the conclusion of the 2021 college lacrosse season by selection committees comprised of premier college coaches who are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.
Duke is the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will play High Point in the opening round this Sunday, May 16. Faceoff is set for 5 p.m., at Dorrance Field on the campus of North Carolina. The game will be televised by ESPNU.
