PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers men's lacrosse goalkeeper Cardin Stoller was named to the Tewaaraton Award's Top 25 Watch List, the organization announced on Thursday. Stoller made the cut to be one of the few remaining players listed for the national Player of the Year award.

Stoller, previously named a Midseason All-American, is one of four goalkeepers listed on the Top 25, and one of six players from the Big Ten. The redshirt sophomore has followed up his stellar debut season last year, in which he was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, with statistical improvement across the board during the 2025 campaign.

A native of Owing Mills, Md., Stoller has made 158 saves across 13 games. He has made double-digit saves in 12 of the 13 games, with five games of at least 14 stops. Stoller has a 59.4% save percentage, 8.50 goals-against-average, 32 ground balls and eight caused turnovers, along with scoring two goals. Following his performance in the win over No. 2 Maryland (14 saves, six goals allowed and a goal scored), he was named the Big Ten Specialist of the Week and national Player of the Week.

Stoller ranked seventh in the nation in save percentage. He is also ninth in goals-against-average.

This marked the fifth straight season that RU has had at least one player on the Tewaaraton Award Watch List. Shane Knobloch, Colin Kirst, Ross Scott, Connor Kirst, and Adam Charalambides were all recognized over that time.
