BROWN'S PHIL GOSS NAMED TO TEWAARATON AWARD WOMEN'S WATCH LIST

WASHINGTON, DC, February 13 – Brown senior All-American goalie Phil Goss(San Francisco, CA) has been named to the 2020 Tewaaraton Award Watch List as announced by the Tewaaraton Foundation. The lists include the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlight the early contenders for the Tewaaraton Award. 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the Award.

Goss, who has been named to the Tewaaraton Watch List for the second straight season, is a two-time USILA All-American (Honorable Mention) and Preseason Second Team All-American in 2020. He is also a two-time All-Ivy selection (First Team, Second Team). Goss has made 586 career saves, fifth best in the Brown record book and is just 86 saves short of the all-time Bears' record of 673 saves by USILA Goalie of the Year Jack Kelly '16.

Brown has one previous Tewaaraton Award recipient, attackman Dylan Molloy in 2016.

Four of the five Tewaaraton Finalists return from 2019 (Penn State's Grant Ament, Maryland's Jared Bernhardt, Yale's TD Ierlan and Princeton's Michael Sowers).

"As we head into our 20th anniversary, we couldn't be more excited to watch these talented players this season and see who rises to the top in May," said Jeff Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. "The Tewaaraton Foundation has accomplished a lot in 20 years, and we're extremely thankful for our dedicated board members and hard-working volunteers who have done so much to build and grow this award."
