USC women's lacrosse duo Michaela Michael and Amanda Johansen were two of 50 collegiate women's lacrosse players named to the 2016 Tewaaraton Award Watch List which annually recognizes the top male and female lacrosse players in the country. The outstanding pair are the first-ever Trojan players to make the watch list.

Michael was the 2015 MPSF Player of the Year and became USC's first-ever IWLCA All-American last season. Another big year is expected from the junior attacker who set the conference record for draw controls in a game (15) and in a single season (123) in 2015. Johansen, a talented senior midfielder, is a three-time All-MPSF selection and has scored 103 goals in her Trojan career. Through two games this season, Michael has already scored eight goals while Johansen has added two goals and two assists.

The 25 semifinalists will be announced on April 28, and five finalists will be selected and announced on May 12. The 16th annual Tewaaraton Award ceremony will be held in Washington, D.C. on June 2.
