Herrmann, a freshman defender from Weil am Rhein, Germany was a dominant force all season helping his team finish at the top of the conference and receive national recognition.

He topped the CCC in several areas including save percentage (.909), goals against (0.31 avg), and shutouts with 11 total in conference play. He was also named the CCC Men's Soccer Defensive Player of the Week twice this season.
