This season he has had a hat trick in three of four games and leads the Wildcats in goals scored with nine.
"It's going to be another exciting year, our 17th for the Tewaaraton Award," said Jeff Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. "On one hand we have our 2016 men's winner in Dylan Molloy returning, and on the women's side, Taylor Cummings has graduated after winning a record three straight. We can't wait to see who emerges this year and gets invited to Washington, D.C. in early June."
