Now that we’re entering the final stretches of the regular season, it feels like a good idea to share some of our staff’s ongoing internal college awards dialogue. Here are some of the players currently on our radar. A few disclaimers: first, while this is a pretty good snapshot of now, things can change in a hurry. Second, and as is always the case, awards consideration will be heavily influenced by what we see on the field at Nationals. Finally, these lists are not exhaustive by any means.
Player of the Year

Women’s Division
- Laura Blume (UC Santa Barbara Burning Skirts)
- Mika Kurahashi (UBC Thunderbirds)
- Clil Phillips (Colorado Quandary)
- Lia Schwartz (Tufts EWO)
- Trout Weybright (Oregon Fugue)

Men’s Division
- Dexter Clyburn (Cal Ursa Major)
- Mica Glass (Oregon Ego)
- Kyle Lew (Cal Poly SLO SLOCORE)
- Declan Miller (Carleton CUT)
- Josh Singleton (UNC Darkside)
We’ll start the conversation here in the men’s division, where the near-total absence of a couple of bigtime upperclassmen (Ben Dameron, Wyatt Kellmann) has opened the field a little.
