College Soccer’s version of the Heisman Trophy is presented annually to the top male and female collegiate soccer players in the country. Some of the biggest names in American soccer history have won the award prior to going on to international
stardom – including Michelle Akers, Mia Hamm, Kristine Lilly, Claudio Reyna, Alexi Lalas and Tony Meola.
The selection of the MAC Hermann Trophy award culminates at the annual awards banquet. The six finalists (three men and three women) plus their coaches and families gather in St. Louis for the press conference where the winners are announced. The announcement is followed by an awards banquet, featuring a high profile speaker from the world of sports.
