Fabian Herbers
Creighton
Junior Forward
Ahaus, Germany

Herbers, the nation’s leading point scorer, recorded a point in 20 of Creighton’s 23 matches, helping the Bluejays to one of the best seasons in program history. Creighton, which topped the NSCAA Top 25 poll for a program-best eight consecutive weeks (Sept. 8-Oct. 27), got off to a 15-0-0 start this season, marking the best start for a Creighton team since 1993 (19-0-0) and best start by any team since Akron began 23-0-0 in 2009. The only player in NCAA Division I to rank among the nation’s top ten for goals (15) and assists (17), Herbers was unanimously selected as the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, marking the second-consecutive season in which he earned the accolade. He scored a point in each of the Bluejays’ first ten matches, becoming the first player in program history to do so since the program was relaunched in 1990. Former Creighton star and current MLS All-Star Ethan Finlay had a run of nine-straight such games in 2010. Herbers led Creighton with five game-winning goals, and was a perfect 4-for-4 on penalty kicks this season, becoming the first player in program history to convert four penalty kicks in a single season since Mike Tranchilla did so in 2002. With his two assists in Creighton’s national quarterfinal match versus Akron, Herbers set a new program record for single-season assists (17), surpassing Richard Mulrooney’s mark of 16 set in 1996 and 1998. His 47 points were fourth-most in Creighton single-season history. In just three seasons at Creighton, Herbers’ 85 career points rank fourth among active players in NCAA Division I.
