Junior forward Casey Nogueira, who led North Carolina to the
national championship in women's soccer, is one of three finalists for the 2008 MAC Hermann Trophy, the collegiate game's highest individual honor.
The others are Pac-10 player of the year Christiana DiMartino
of UCLA and 2006 MAC Hermann Trophy winner Kerri Hanks of Notre Dame. Division I coaches voted for the finalists. The winner will be announced Jan. 9.
A goal by Courtney Barg in the 15th minute stood up the rest of the game, and No. 1 Notre Dame held on to beat Stanford 1-0 tonight to reach the championship of the Women’s College Cup.
Former North Carolina star Cat Whitehill, a national team member who's recovering from knee surgery, is working for ESPN2 this weekend during the NCAA College Cup, the final four of women's soccer, at WakeMed Soccer Park.
The former Cat Reddick, the 2003 national player of the year, spoke about the Friday semifinals — Stanford vs. Notre Dame at 4:30 p.m. and UNC vs. UCLA at 7 p.m. — including how the weather might affect the outcomes.
