Monaghan Named to MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List

Butler senior Paige Monaghan has been selected to the 2018 MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List.

United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club announced the 77 NCAA Division I players (men and women) Thursday, Aug. 9.

The MAC Hermann Trophy, presented by World Wide Technology, is the most prestigious individual award in college soccer and is presented annually to the most outstanding male and female players of the year. This year's winners will be announced Friday, Jan. 4, 2019 at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.

Monaghan, the 2017 BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, led the league in shots (33), points (18), goals (8) and game-winning goals (3) over nine BIG EAST games. The Second Team All-American selection had three multi-goal games throughout the season and also earned First Team All-Midwest Region honors. She is a unanimous selection for the 2018 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year and the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.

A total of 45 players are included on the Women's Watch List, headlined by 2017 finalist Jessie Fleming of UCLA and five semifinalists; Stanford junior Tierna Davidson, South Carolina junior Grace Fisk, Stanford sophomore Catarina Macario, UCLA senior Hailie Mace and Rutgers senior Casey Murphy. Seventeen of the 45 players were United Soccer Coaches All-Americans last season.

The MAC Hermann Trophy Watch Lists are compiled by members of the United Soccer Coaches Men's and Women's NCAA Division I All-America Committees. Fifteen semifinalists will be named for both the men's and women's MAC Hermann Trophy near the end of the college season based on voting by NCAA Division I coaches and from those candidates, three finalists will ultimately be placed on the ballot for the coveted award.
