WEST POINT, N.Y. – Senior attackman Brendan Nichtern was named to the Inside Lacrosse Preseason Top 10 Tewaaraton Watch, placing eighth on the list.
The Inside Lacrosse Preseason Tewaaraton Watch is another preseason accolade for Nichtern who has been selected to the 2022 Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-American Second Team and the 2022 USA Lacrosse Magazine Preseason All-American Third Team.
Nichtern enters his senior season on the verge of setting a couple of program career records. He is fourth on the career assists list with 108 and is 34 assists away from tying Tim Pearson '02 for the top spot. On the all-time scoring list, Nichtern sits in eighth place with 183 points, 55 away from Pearson.
Nichtern collected a bevy of honors last season. The Massapequa, N.Y. native was named the 2021 Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year to go along with All-Patriot League First Team honors. He earned All-American recognition from Inside Lacrosse (second), USA Lacrosse (second team), and the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) (third team). He was also a 2021 Tewaaraton Award nominee, which is awarded to the top male and female college lacrosse player. He led the 2021 Black Knights in goals (26), assists (31), and points (57). He was first in the Patriot League and finished sixth in the nation in assists per game (2.82) and points per game (5.18).
Nichtern, who will serve as a team captain for the second straight season, is a part of an experienced and deep senior class heading into the 2022 season. Army returns seven starters from last season's team that advanced to the Patriot League Tournament Semifinals. The Black Knights open their 14-game schedule on February 12 against UMass at Michie Stadium.
