Stony Brook, N.Y. - With a strong start to the 2008 men's lacrosse season, Stony Brook freshman Jordan McBride (New Westminster, British Columbia) has been named to the 2008 Tewaaraton Award watch list the Tewaaraton Award Foundation has announced. He is one of six players added to the list this week. The annual award is given to the top male and female lacrosse player in the nation.
