ST. LOUIS - Wake Forest senior All-American Justin Moose has been named as a semifinalist for the Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy, the NSCAA announced on Wednesday. Moose is one of fifteen players from around the country who will appear on the final ballot. Moose joins former Demon Deacons Brian Carroll (2002), William Hesmer (2003) and Jeremiah White (2003) as semifinalists for college soccer's equivalent to the Heisman Trophy.
The winner will be determined in voting by NSCAA Division I member coaches. Three men's and three women's finalists for the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy will be announced at the 2005 Men's College Cup on Dec. 9. The finalists will be invited to the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Friday, Jan. 6, 2006, for the announcement of the winner at a press conference which will be telecast live by ESPNews. Both winners will be presented the prestigious crystal soccer ball trophy at a banquet later that evening.
Moose, a native of Statesville, N.C., has already been named first team All-ACC and Top Drawer Soccer third team All-American in 2005. He leads the Demon Deacons in points with 19 this season on five goals and nine assists. The All-American is the school's all-time leader in assists with 29 and ranks eighth all-time in scoring with 61 points (16 goals and 29 assists). Earlier this season, Moose tied an ACC record with four assists in one match and is the only player in ACC history to record the feat in a single half.
