Pennington Named to Tewaarton Watch List

BALTIMORE, Md. – Junior midfielder Justin Pennington (Flemington, N.J.) has been named to the 2009 watch list for the Tewaarton Trophy. The Tewaarton Trophy is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award, honoring the top male varsity collegiate lacrosse player in the United States.

The players on the list were nominated by coaches across the country and are now considered early season hopefuls for the prestigious award. Names can still be added throughout the spring until five finalists are selected at the end of the year. Pennington is the second RU player to be named to the watch list after defenseman Chris O’Dougherty (Kinnelon, N.J.) was chosen in 2008.
