The Tewaaraton selection committee, comprised of 10 active coaches, unanimously voted for the split award. Lyle and Miles are the first two Native American recipients of the trophy rooted in their culture. Duke's Jordan Wolf, Loyola's Joe Fletcher and Princeton's Tom Schreiber were the other finalists. “I didn’t see it coming at all,” Lyle said. “It brought tears to my eyes." The Thompsons each broke the
22-year-old NCAA Division I single-season points record of 114 held by UMBC’s Steve Marohl. Lyle finished with 128 and Miles 119 as Albany’s season ended in a thrilling NCAA tournament quarterfinal game against Notre Dame. Lyle also tied the single-season assists record while Miles tied the single-season goals mark. “Certainly Lyle was the favorite going in, but for Mlles to score 82 goals and break the [points] record himself, he deserved to share the award,” Albany coach Scott Marr said. “They’ve helped re-energize the game, and show people how much fun it can be to play the game." Cummings became the fourth Terp to win the award, joining Katie Schwarzmann (2012, 2013), Caitlyn McFadden (2010) and Jen Adams (2001). She topped finalists Megan Douty (Maryland), Alyssa Murray (Syracuse), Kayla Treanor (Syracuse) and Shannon Gilroy (Florida). In addition, the late Brendan Looney and former Navy star Jimmy Lewis were honored with the Spirit of Tewaaraton and the Tewaaraton Legends awards, respectively. Alie Jimerson, a Cayuga Nation native who will play at Albany, and Kason Tarbell, a Mohawk headed to Cornell, won the Tewaaraton US Lacrosse Native American scholarships. After all was said and done, the Thompsons flanked Cummings for photos at the end of the ceremony. Three players standing with two trophies was symbolic of the history made for the night. LM

the Cavaliers win the NCAA title 1999. Jalbert was named the USILA’s midfielder of the year that season. He went on to be a four-time MLL all-star and an All-World member of the 2006 U.S. men’s national team. Brown Millon was named to the ACC’s 50th anniversary team in 2002 for her time at Maryland (1989-90) and was a two-time U.S. World Cup team member, winning titles in 1997 and 2001. She served as US Lacrosse’s first Women’s Game Director from 1998-2005.

women’s program at Ursinus, where she amassed a 199- 19-9 record from 1957-81. Her 89.6 win percentage ranks second in NCAA women’s history.
