Murray, Treanor qualify as Tewaaraton Award finalists
Syracuse attacks Alyssa Murray and Kayla Treanor are two of five finalists for the Tewaaraton Award, given to the country’s best player.
Maryland placed two players on the list, including defender Megan Douty and midfielder Taylor Cummings. Florida midfielder Shannon Gilroy rounded out the finalists.
Murray, a senior, leads SU with 37 assists and is second in goals (51) and points (88), while Treanor has developed into one of the country’s top players as a sophomore. She has 102 points this season, which includes a team-high 70 goals. Additionally, her 3.5 goals per game rank fifth in the nation.
Both players will have a chance to add to their Tewaaraton resumes on Sunday when Syracuse starts its NCAA tournament run against Towson or Stony Brook at SU Soccer Stadium at 3 p.m.
