Who Fills the Hermann? ESPN’s Graham Hays has a good look at the women’s soccer season and picks four ladies who could fill the Hermann Trophy as college soccer’s best player and your Janine Beckie gets a mention:
Janine Beckie, F, Texas Tech: It has already been a busy year for the Colorado-raised but Canadian-eligible forward. She trained with the Women’s World Cup team and played for the team that represented Canada in the Pan-American Games. At the college level, she scored double-digit goals in each of her first three seasons and has the talent to score 20-plus. The Big 12 isn’t the ACC or Pac-12, but Texas Tech plays a quality schedule out of conference and could give Beckie the spotlight needed for people to notice a tenacious finisher.
