GREENSBORO, N.C. – Junior forward Enzo Dovlo of the UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's soccer team was named to the 2025 Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List, as announced by the United Soccer Coaches on Thursday.  
  
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the most coveted individual honor in NCAA Division I soccer and has been awarded annually since 1967. Dovlo is one of 31 selected on the watch list and one of two Southern Conference (SoCon) nominees with the other being Diego Hernandez from Furman. 
  
The process of selecting a winner begins at the start of the college soccer season when a Watch List (men and women) of potential players is compiled by United Soccer Coaches All-America Committees. At the end of the collegiate regular season on Dec. 9th, 15 players following the conclusion of All-American voting by Division I coaches are announced as semifinalists for the award. That list is then voted on through an online voting process by men's and women's Division I soccer coaches whose teams are current United Soccer Coaches College Services members. 
  
The top three vote-getters for both the men's and women's trophy are announced as finalists for the award. These six individuals are invited to an annual banquet held at the Missouri Athletic Club of St. Louis. The winner of the Hermann Trophy will be presented to the winner on Jan. 9th at the banquet.  
  

Dovlo currently ranks seventh in the nation in total points (20), 11th in assists (6) and 13th in the nation in goals (7). He also leads the SoCon in each of those statistical categories. The Spartan striker has also picked up one SoCon Offensive Player of the Week award this season.  

"I'm really happy that I am on the Watch List," said Dovlo. "It is an amazing honor, however I think it is more about team success. We just came off a big win this week and we are just focused on the next game." 

History of the Hermann Trophy 
In 1967, Robert Hermann, the president of the National Professional Soccer League (NPSL) and the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the NPSL's successor, the North American Soccer League, established a trophy to annually recognize the top men's collegiate soccer player. The trophy, named the Hermann Trophy, has been awarded each year since 1967.  In 1988, a second Hermann Trophy was inaugurated to recognize the top women's collegiate player of the year. 
  
In 1986, the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) began naming an annual player of the year as a rival to the Hermann Trophy. Then in 1996, United Soccer Coaches (then NSCAA) initiated its own annual player of the year award. These three competing awards began merging three years later when United Soccer Coaches and MAC agreed to cooperate on naming a combined collegiate player of the year. Finally, beginning in 2002, United Soccer Coaches, the Missouri Athletic Club and the Hermann Trophy merged to create a unified award for the top college soccer player of the year.
