WASHINGTON D.C. – University of Denver men's lacrosse redshirt junior Cody Malawsky and sophomore goalie Grayson Manning have both been added to the 2026 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, the foundation announced on Thursday.
 
Coming off a historic performance in the Gold Medal game of the U20 World Championships in South Korea last summer, Manning has posted a 67.4% save percentage on 64 saves against just 31 goals allowed. Manning has posted double digit saves in each of the last four games, including 20 saves in an 8-7 win at Utah on February 14. In the national rankings, Manning ranks third in goals against average (6.69), first in save percentage (67.4%) and 15^th in saves per game (12.8).
 
Malawsky also had an award-winning summer, being named the Most Outstanding Player of the 2025 Minto Cup. In the first five games of the campaign, Malawsky has posted a team-high 17 points on 12 goals and five assists. Last time out, the Maple Ridge, B.C. native led Denver to a 15-9 win over [RV] Michigan, matching career highs with five goals and seven points. Malawsky is tied for third in the BIG EAST in goals per game (2.4) and 27^th nationally in shooting percentage (46.2%).
