WASHINGTON - The night of the Tewaaraton Award Ceremony has arrived, and Amanda O'Leary ('88), known as Mandee Moore in her playing days at Temple, will receive one of two 2018 Tewaaraton Legend Awards at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. O'Leary is the second in three years connected with Temple to receive a major award from The Tewaaraton Foundation, after former coach Tina Sloan Green was named the Spirit of Tewaaraton recipient in 2016.
The 12th Spirit of Tewaaraton recipient is former Boston College lacrosse player and 9/11 hero Welles Crowther, and the other 2018 Tewaaraton Legend is former Johns Hopkins star Larry Quinn.
