WASHINGTON—UIndy women's lacrosse standout Peyton Romig was among a select few student-athletes added to the 2022 Tewaaraton Award Women's Watch List Presented by AXIA Time, announced by The Tewaaraton Foundation Friday. Romig joins teammate Abigail Lagos on the exclusive list, with the pair representing the only non-Division-I student-athletes on the women's list.
 
The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.
 
Romig is the all-time Division II leader in career draw controls and leads all active student-athletes (regardless of division) in the category. This season, she currently leads the GLVC and ranks second in DII in draw controls per game.

Award is recognized as the preeminent lacrosse award, annually honoring the top male and

Elders and U.S. Lacrosse, the Tewaaraton Award symbolizes lacrosse's centuries-old roots in
Native American heritage. The Tewaaraton Foundation ensures the integrity and advances the
mission of this award. Each year, the Tewaaraton Award celebrates one of the six nations of the Haudenosaunee/Iroquois Confederacy – the Mohawk, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga, Seneca and Tuscarora – and presents two scholarships to students of Native American descent.
