HOUSTON — Rice Soccer defender Mijke Roelfsema and midfielder Delaney Schultz were named to the MAC Hermann Trophy, announced by the Missouri Athletic Club.
Last year, Roelfsema was named a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy while becoming the program's first-ever First Team All-American. She was named to Conference USA's Preseason Team and its Defender of the Year, while also earning Preseason All-American honors by College Soccer News.
Schultz was named to the list a day after being named to the Conference USA Preseason Team. Her 2021 season got off to a blazing start last night, scoring two goals and recording an assist in Rice's 4-0 victory over Sam Houston State.
The Hermann Trophy, presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club, is the nation's highest individual honor recognizing the nation's National Player of the Year as determined by the voting of Division I coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches.
Fifteen players become Hermann Trophy semifinalists on Nov. 30 following completion of Division I All-America voting following the fall season. Then on Dec. 8, the top three players from a final round of voting are the 2021 finalists. The 2021 winner is revealed on Jan. 7, 2022, at a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis, Mo.
The Owls close their season-opening homestand on Sunday when they host Stephen F. Austin at 7 p.m.
