Herrmann drilled a hard shot over the head of the keeper in the 53rd minute as Navy held off Loyola Maryland, 1-0, in the semifinals of the Patriot League tournament on Wednesday night at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.
For Herrmann, a product of Ardrey Kell High in Charlotte, North Carolina, it marked the first game-winning goal of her career at any level.
“I’ve waited for a moment like that my whole life. Growing up on the soccer field, that’s all any player ever wants. I feel like I’m on Cloud Nine,” she said.
Herrmann’s goal capped an impressive offensive sequence for the Midshipmen, who applied a lot of pressure inside the box and had the visiting Greyhounds on their heels.
