Akpan one of college soccer's best
Harvard sophomore and All-Ivy League soccer player Andre Akpan of Grand Prairie was announced Tuesday as one of the 15 finalist for the prestigious Hermann Trophy
The Hermann Trophy is awarded by the Missouri Athletic Club to the top Division I college soccer player in the country.
Akpan, a graduate of The Oakridge School in Arlington, was the second leading Division I scorer in the nation last season with an average of 2.06 points per game. He led the Ivy League with 13 goals and nine assists (35 points) and became one of only nine Division I players to post a 10-game goal scoring streak. He was one of three unanimous All-Ivy League first-team selections.
The Missouri Athletic Club will announce its three finalists on December 14 and award the Hermann Trophy at the club’s banquet in January.
