MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University women’s soccer senior forward Michaela Abam has been named to the 2017 Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy Watch List, released today by the United Soccer Coaches.
A Houston native, Abam lands on the list for the first time in her career. At least one Mountaineer has been named to the initial watch list in each of the last seven years, including 2016 Hermann Trophy winner Kadeisha Buchanan.
College soccer’s version of the Heisman Trophy, the award represents the highest level of individual achievement in the sport. The list is compiled by the United Soccer Coaches Men’s and Women’s NCAA Division I All-America Committees, based on analysis of returning All-America and All-Region players, as well as any prominent newcomers.
