DeSimone Named a Tewaaraton Award Nominee
4/18/2024 1:00:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
DURHAM - Duke women's lacrosse senior attacker Katie DeSimone has been named one of 25 nominees for the 2024 Tewaaraton Award, as announced by the foundation Thursday.
The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the pre-eminent lacrosse award, annually honoring the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are composed of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.
"The Tewaaraton Nominees are a truly exceptional group of student-athletes," said Andy Phillips, President of the Tewaaraton Foundation. "Their outstanding play has created so many memorable moments and exciting games in 2024, and we fully expect to see more of the same as we head toward the postseason."
DeSimone has been stellar this season for the Blue Devils, putting up impressive numbers as one of the nation's top attackers.
She leads the team and is fifth nationally in goals (58) and second in points (79). She is just the third active player in Division I with at least 190 career goals and 75 career assists and is the only player in Duke history with those numbers.
This season, she owns hat tricks in all but five games and has 10 games with five-or-more points. DeSimone has also grabbed 14 ground balls and seven caused turnovers.
The Bay Shore, N.Y., native ranks third in program history with 191 career goals and fourth with 267 career points, numbers that put her 13th and 15th among NCAA Division I active players. Duke's career points record is 287, held by Blue Devil great Katie Chrest Erbe.
Five men's and five women's finalists will be selected from these groups, to be announced May 9 at the conclusion of the regular season.
The No. 25 Blue Devils have a big test today as they travel to No. 15 North Carolina for a 3 p.m., contest on ESPNU.
