August 5, 2015 | Women's Soccer
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Aug. 5, 2015) –Twenty-eight women from NCAA Division I schools around the country have been marked as potential contenders for the 2015 Missouri Athletic Club's (MAC) Hermann Trophy. The list was announced Wednesday afternoon by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and it includes senior Katie Bowen of the University of North Carolina women's soccer team. Bowen is a senior defender/midfielder from Auckland, New Zealand.
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the most prestigious individual award in NCAA soccer presented annually to one male and one female athlete. The winners will be announced Friday, Jan. 8, 2016, at the trophy presentation banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
The lists are compiled by the NSCAA Men's and Women's NCAA Division I All-America Committees, based on analysis of returning All-America and All-Region players, as well as any prominent newcomers.
Near the end of the collegiate regular season, NCAA Division I coaches whose programs are current NSCAA College Services members will vote on their top choices and the lists will be narrowed down to the top 15 players. From that pool of 30, six finalists (three men, three women) will be chosen for the award. The winners will be announced in January.
