August 9, 2018 | Men's Soccer
KANSAS CITY, MO. – United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club announced today the 77 NCAA Division I players named to the 2018 MAC Hermann Trophy Watch Lists, presented by World Wide Technology.
The University of North Carolina is represented by senior Alex Comsia on the Men's 32-member watch list. Comsia, a native of Vancouver, B.C., is a three-year starter for the Tar Heels who was named an All-ACC player last year en route to helping lead Carolina to its second consecutive NCAA Men's College Cup. Also named to the ACC All-Freshman team in 2015, Comsia is a standout in the classroom being named a Scholar and Academic All-American, and was the recipient of the Elite 90 Award in 2016 given to the player with the highest GPA at the College Cup.
The MAC Hermann Trophy, presented by World Wide Technology, is the most prestigious individual award in college soccer and is presented annually to the most outstanding male and female players of the year. This year's winners will be announced Friday, Jan. 4, 2019 at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
The MAC Hermann Trophy Watch Lists are compiled by members of the United Soccer Coaches Men's and Women's NCAA Division I All-America Committees. Fifteen semifinalists will be named for both the men's and women's MAC Hermann Trophy near the end of the college season based on voting by NCAA Division I coaches and from those candidates, three finalists will ultimately be placed on the ballot for the coveted award.
