Zac McGraw of the Army West Point men's soccer team was 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. 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. "Zac is one of the top-10 defenders in the college game," head coach Russell Payne said. "He will have a great opportunity to lead this team forward this fall." The two-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year was selected as one of 31 Division I men's soccer student-athletes to join the exclusive watch list.
