Editing Hermann Trophy (section)

==Selection process==
Today, the process of selecting a winner begins at the start of the college soccer season when a list of potential nominees is compiled by a nominating committee.  Near the end of the collegiate regular season, 15 players whom the committee considers the best in Division I soccer are announced as semifinalists for the award.  That list is then voted on through an online voting process by men's and women's Division I soccer coaches whose teams are current NSCAA College Services members.  In early December the top three vote-getters for both the men's and women's trophy are announced as finalists for the award. These six individuals are invited to an annual banquet held at the Missouri Athletic Club of [[St. Louis, Missouri|St. Louis]].  That evening, the winners of the two awards are announced and receive a 10-pound crystal replica soccer ball made by [[Tyrone Crystal]] of [[County Tyrone]], [[Northern Ireland]].
