The Tewaaraton Award is presented to the most outstanding female and male college lacrosse player at the conclusion of each NCAA season.

The trophy is a 12-inch figure cast in patinated bronze, mounted on a hexagon-shaped black granite piece to represent the six nations of the Iroquois Confederacy: Mohawk, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca, and Tuscarora tribes.

Here are the five most recent Tewaaraton winners for NCAA Women’s Lacrosse.
