KANSAS CITY – United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) announced the three women’s finalists for the 2025 MAC Hermann Trophy on Wednesday afternoon, which is based on voting by NCAA Division I women’s soccer coaches.
The MAC Hermann Trophy is the most coveted individual honor in NCAA Division I soccer and has been awarded annually since 1967.
The three finalists are our very own sophomore forward Izzy Engle (Edina, Minn.), Stanford University senior forward Jasmine Aikey (Palo Alto, Calif.), and Florida State junior forward Jordynn Dudley (Milton, Ga.).
Engle was an absolute offensive force for the Irish this season. She was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year, First Team All-ACC, and USC All-Atlantic Region First Team. Engle became the first Notre Dame striker to win ACC Offensive Player of the Year and just the fifth player in conference history to earn Freshman of the Year and Offensive Player of the Year in consecutive seasons.
She scored 44 points across 19 matches, which is the third-best in the nation in points per game (2.32). She scored 19 goals this season, which is fifth nationally. She was also recognized as the ACC Offensive Player of the Week twice this season, was named to the ACC Championship All-Tournament Team, and received CSC Academic All-District honors this year.
In conference play, Engle scored 11 goals and was one of only two players to record double-figure goals in ACC matches this season. She was the only player to register a hat trick in league play, scoring three times in Notre Dame’s 5-0 win at Virginia Tech on October 23.
Engle has now scored an impressive 38 career goals in just 41 matches played through her sophomore season.
The MAC Hermann Trophy, the most coveted individual honor in NCAA Division I soccer, has been awarded annually since 1967. The 2025 MAC Hermann Trophy banquet will be held at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Jan. 9, 2026, to formally announce this year’s winners.
