2014 Men’s Basketball
Championship
Monmouth 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 and Anthony Vasquez and midfielder Max Hamilton.
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. Louisville, the No. 1 team in the NSCAA preseason rankings, had one player on the list: senior defender Austin Berry. Of the 42 players, five were semifinalists for the award in 2010: Tony Cascio (Connecticut), Ethan Finlay (Creighton), Antoine Hoppenot (Princeton), Arthur Ivo (SMU) and Andrew Wenger (Duke).
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.
