MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List Revealed For 2013 – By Chris Teale

The Watch List for the 2013 MAC Hermann Trophy, the highest individual honor in college soccer, has been announced by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and is highlighted by a number of familiar faces.

The MAC Hermann Trophy is presented annually to one male and one female NCAA soccer player, and this year’s Watch Lists feature a combined total of 65 athletes from Division I.

Both of last year’s winners, Patrick Mullins (Maryland) and Crystal Dunn (North Carolina), return for their senior years and will be looking to win the trophy once again. Were Mullins to take the crown, he would be the first man since Mike Fisher in 1995-96 to win back-to-back MAC Hermann Trophies. Dunn would be the first since Christine Sinclair in 2004-05 to do the same with the women’s trophy.

Meanwhile, three semifinalists from last year’s MAC Hermann Trophy are on the 2013 men’s Watch List, with Mamadou Diouf (Connecticut) joining Robbie Kristo (Saint Louis) and Steve Neumann (Georgetown) on the list of 34 players.

Likewise, five of last year’s 2012 semifinalists have made the 2013 Watch List on the women’s side: Natasha Anasi (Duke), Daphne Corboz (Georgetown), Maya Hayes (Penn State), Julie Johnston (Santa Clara) and KealiaOhai (North Carolina).

The two Watch Lists will be reduced to the top 15 after a vote by NCAA Division I coaches that are members of the NSCAA. Then, three men and three women will be chosen as finalists for the award, which will be announced on January 10 at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
