CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – University of North Carolina women’s lacrosse standouts Ashley and Chloe Humphrey have been named Tewaaraton Award finalists, The Tewaaraton Foundation announced on Thursday. The Tewaaraton Award is recognized as the preeminent lacrosse award, annually honoring the top male and female college lacrosse players in the United States.
 
The Humphrey sisters are the 12th and 13th Tewaaraton finalists in UNC history and Chloe is the first freshman to reach this stage on the women’s side in the award’s history. This is also the third time UNC has had two finalists. Taylor Moreno and Jamie Ortega were both finalists in 2021, while Ortega was joined by Ally Mastroianni in 2022.
 
A graduate student from Darien, Conn., Ashley is the top playmaker in the country. A three-time All-American, she currently leads the Tar Heels in points with 98, which is tied for seventh nationally, against one of the nation’s toughest schedules. She’s tallied 70 assists and 28 goals on the year to accumulate her 98 points, despite being face-guarded in numerous games this season. Humphrey’s 70 assists and 3.9 assists per game lead the nation and she only needs four assists to set UNC’s single-season record. Ashley has tallied 238 career assists between Stanford and UNC and only needs nine more to set a new NCAA record (246 by Kylie Ohlmiller, Stony Brook). She is the NCAA’s active leader in assists (238) and assists per game (3.4) and ranks fourth in points per game (4.99).
 
Chloe, the freshman phenom from Darien, Conn., is widely considered the nation’s most dynamic young attacker, having scored 73 goals to go along with 24 assists for 97 points against one of the nation’s toughest schedules. Her 73 goals are tied for sixth nationally and her 97 points rank ninth. She only needs two more goals to set the NCAA record for goals by a freshman (74 by Karri Ellen Johnson, Maryland). Chloe has scored five or more goals eight times this season and has tallied hat tricks in 15 of the first 18 games of her collegiate career. She is the main reason UNC ranks second nationally in goals per game at 17.5.
 
The Tewaaraton recipients will be chosen at the conclusion of the 2025 college lacrosse season by selection committees comprised of premier college coaches who are appointed annually by the Tewaaraton Foundation. The Finalists will be honored and this year’s recipients announced live May 29 at the Tewaaraton Ceremony at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
