Bucknell's Davis Added to Tewaaraton Award Watch List
3/10/2022 12:10:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell's Connor Davis was added to the Watch List for the 2022 Tewaaraton Award, the Tewaaraton Foundation announced Thursday.
Davis is currently the only freshman on the Watch List for this prestigious award, which annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States.
Davis is off to a strong start to his collegiate career with 25 goals through the Bison's first five games, all victories. His average of 5.00 goals per game is currently the best in the NCAA Division I ranks; he is also the lone freshman in the top 10 in this statistical category.
Davis, already a four-time Patriot League Rookie of the Week, has netted six goals in a single game three times to date. He is the first Bucknell newcomer to do so more than once, as only Thomas Flibotte (Drexel, 2013), Kevin Roth (Kutztown, 1989) and Rink Smith (Gettysburg, 1980) had previously accomplished this feat.
In addition, Davis needs just one Patriot League Rookie of the Week nod to match the league record held by fellow Bison Charlie Streep, who took home five in 2009. Earlier, Davis became the first player to capture this award three weeks in a row by doing so on the strength of his performance in Bucknell's first three games of the 2022 campaign.
The selection committee for the Tewaaraton Award is made up of premier collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation.
