CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State forward Gloire Amanda has taken the most prestigious individual honor in all of college soccer, as the junior received the MAC Hermann Trophy Thursday evening.
Amanda beat out fellow finalists Victor Bezerra of Indiana and Valentin Noel of Pittsburgh. The MAC Hermann is presented annually to the most outstanding male and female players of the year.
The forward is the first Oregon State player to be named a finalist for the MAC Hermann, and the fifth Pac-12 player to win the award on the men's side. Amanda joined Danny Mwanga and Khiry Shelton as Beavers to earn All-America honors from the United Soccer Coaches earlier this month.
