BY RODERICK BOONE
Less than a week after his season ended with a disappointing loss to Johns Hopkins in the semifinals, Duke senior Matt Danowski of Farmingdale watched Syracuse's Mike Leveille take home the Tewaaraton Award, given annually to the best player in the nation, Thursday night.
Danowski finished his career as the all-time leading scorer in Division I, but fell shy of winning the ultimate prize -- a championship -- the last two seasons. He won the coveted award last season and was the front-runner at the beginning of the year to take it home again.
For Leveille, it's been a pretty good week hasn't it? He was named the most outstanding player at the NCAA championship in Foxborough, Mass. on Monday, then taken third overall in the MLL Draft by New Jersey Wednesday, and now this.
FYI: Northwestern's Hannah Neilsen received the women's Tewaaraton.
Also, for those who might be looking for this year's USILA All-Americans, they are below for your enjoyment.
