Christen Press
Stanford senior CHRISTEN PRESS has been named one of three finalists for the Hermann Trophy, which recognizes the best college women’s soccer player in the country.
Press will be joined by Notre Dame’s Melissa Henderson and California’s Alex Morgan for the awards ceremony Jan. 7 in St. Louis. Press could become the second Hermann winner from Stanford, after teammate KELLEY O’HARA, who won last year.
Press is the Pacific-10 Conference Player of the Year after leading Stanford to its second consecutive perfect conference season and into its third consecutive NCAA College Cup. The Cardinal reached the NCAA championship final for the second consecutive year and once again, Press was named to the College Cup All-Tournament team, for the third time.
Press also established herself as the most prolific scorer in Stanford history, breaking career records in goals (71), assists (41) and points (183). She also matched O’Hara’s year-old single-season record for goals. In addition, Press was named the Pac-10 Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women’s soccer and is a first-team Academic All-American.
