Past Women's Winners

Past Women's Winners

Every year, the MAC Hermann Trophy shines a light on the remarkable women who redefine what’s possible in college soccer. Each name on this list tells a story of heart, grit, and excellence — of players who led their teams to victory, inspired their communities, and carried the spirit of the game beyond the field.

Explore the past MAC Hermann Trophy women’s winners. These women didn’t just play the game — they transformed it, leaving behind a legacy that continues to move the sport forward. The winners have gone on to shape professional soccer around the globe — representing 10 of the 14 National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) clubs, multiple international teams, Olympic Teams (including the USA’s most recent Gold Medal), and World Cups.
