Aikey, Evans Land on Hermann Trophy Midseason List

Jasmine Aikey and Elise Evans have earned spots on the inaugural Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - United Soccer Coaches announced on Thursday the 35 NCAA Women’s Division I college soccer players, including Stanford's Jasmine Aikey and Elise Evans, named to the 2025 Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List.

The Hermann Trophy is presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club and is the nation’s highest individual honor recognizing the National Player of the Year as determined by voting of Division I head coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches. It is named in honor of the late Robert Hermann, the legendary St. Louis, Mo., businessman and soccer executive who founded the National Professional Soccer League, the first pro soccer league in the United States which became the North American Soccer League. He was inducted in the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in 2012.

The 2025 midseason watch list was compiled by members of the Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List Committee from a list of returning 2024 All-Americans and First Team All-Region players. A total of 15 players will be named 2025 Hermann Trophy semifinalists on December 2 at the conclusion of NCAA Division I All-American voting. From that list, head coaches will cast votes, and three players will be named finalists. The 2025 recipient will be announced January 9, 2026, in a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in downtown St. Louis, Mo.

The 2025 Men’s Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List will be announced Friday, October 10.
