Monmouth Places Three on 2011 Men's MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List
Posted by Craig Bohnert on Aug 15, 2011 in Awards 0 Comments
Monmouth University is the most-represented team on the Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy Watch List for the 2011 season. The Hawks placed three seniors among the 42 players on the list: defenders RJ Allen (Old Bridge, N.J.) and Anthony Vasquez (Belford, N.J.) and midfielder Max Hamilton (Medford, N.J.).
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the highest individual award in intercollegiate soccer. The recipients are selected by head coaches of NCAA Division I programs who are members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
Five other schools each placed two players on the list: Connecticut, Creighton, Duke, Fordham and SMU. The University of Louisville, the No. 1 team in the NSCAA/Continental Tire Pre-Season Rankings, had two players on the list: senior forward Colin Rolfe (Canton, Mich.), the lone returning Hermann Trophy finalist from the 2010 season, and senior defender Austin Berry (Cincinnati, Ohio). Of the 42 players, five were semifinalists for the award in 2010: Tony Cascio (Connecticut/Gilbert, Ariz.), Ethan Finlay (Creighton/Marshfield, Wis.), Antoine Hoppenot (Princeton/Princeton, N.J.), Arthur Ivo (SMU/Braganca, Brazil) and Andrew Wenger (Duke/Lititz, Pa.).
A total of 35 different schools and seven countries are represented on the list, including players from the United States, Australia, Brazil, England, Ghana, New Zealand and Sweden.
Voting for the MAC Hermann Trophy is conducted in late November, when a field of 15 semifinalists is reduced to three finalists. Those three will be invited to the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Friday, Jan. 6, 2012, where a news conference will be held to announce the winner, followed by a banquet to honor the three finalists

I wish someone uploaded a legible copy of the Bob Gansler & Tony DiCiccio presentations at The Orlando event. I was there, it was awesome, and now I can't read my diagram/notes as to how the ball/players move!
