KANSAS CITY, Kan. — For the second consecutive season, Oklahoma State midfielder Yolanda Odenyo has been named to the Missouri Athletic Club Women's Hermann Trophy Award Watch List, it was announced today by the NSCAA.
Considered the highest individual honor in intercollegiate soccer, the recipients of the MAC's Hermann Trophy are selected by Division I head coaches who are current members of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. A list of 15 semifinalists is selected by a coaches committee in November, with three finalists announced in early December. They will invited to the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis, Mo., for a news conference on Jan. 9, 2009, where the winner will be announced, with a presentation banquet following.
Odenyo, a senior for the Cowgirls, is a two-time All-American, three-time All-Big 12 performer and was 2006 Co-Big 12 Player of the Year. She is one of 47 players on the 2008 Hermann Trophy Watch List.
“(Odenyo) is just invaluable, not only her individual stats but her leadership and the confidence she brings to the rest of the team,” OSU head coach Colin Carmichael said. “She's made a huge impact on our program on-and-off the field. She's our focal point, and we're hoping she has a great senior year.”
Odenyo enters her senior season ranked among OSU's career leaders in a number of categories. She's recorded 19 goals and 15 assists during her three seasons with the Cowgirls, including a seven-goal, three-assist effort in 2007.
The Cowgirls open the '08 season Saturday at SMU.
