KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Lehigh men's soccer senior forward Mark Forrest has been named to the 2018 MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List as announced by United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club on Thursday. 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.
Forrest is coming off a banner year in 2017 in which he ranked second in the country in points (38) and third in goals (15). He led the entire Northeast Region and Patriot League in goals and points, while ranking fourth in the Patriot League in assists (8). His list of 2017 accolades include a Third Team All-America selection and a First Team All-Northeast Region selection by the United Soccer Coaches. He also earned a First Team All-Patriot League selection, and was named the ECAC Offensive Player of the Year and the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year. Forrest posted four multi-goal games last season and tallied a point in 11 different contests.
A total of 32 players on the Men's Watch List for the upcoming 2018 season. Ten of the 32 players were United Soccer Coaches All-Americans in 2017.
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.
