ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y. – One day after earning a spot as a Midseason All-American, St. Bonaventure senior Brett Dobson has been named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List, officials announced Friday.

The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and female college lacrosse player in the United States. The award is essentially the Heisman Trophy of lacrosse. The selection committees are comprised of premier college coaches and are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation.

Dobson is the first men's player in St. Bonaventure history to be named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List.

He ranks first nationally in save percentage at .659 and also stands second among all Division I players in saves per game (16.3) and third in goals against average (8.88). He leads the MAAC in each of those categories.

This season has been the continuation of stellar play in the cage by Dobson. He led the country last year in save percentage (.599) and ranked fifth nationally in goals against average as a junior (9.1). This past fall, he was selected to represent Team Canada at the U.S. Lacrosse Fall Classic for the second time in his career. He has won MAAC Defensive Player of the Week accolades five times already this spring.

Dobson has tallied 15 or more saves in six of nine games so far this season, including a high of 22 at Saint Joseph's and 19 three different times.
