Charlottesville, Va. -- Junior midfielder Sarah Mannelly, senior midfielder Mikaela Rix, and senior attacker Covie Stanwick have been named to the 25-player 2015 Tewaaraton Award nominee list. The Tewaaraton Award is bestowed annually upon the top female and male college lacrosse player in the United States.
