Several FirstPoint Soccer Players Earn National Recognition

The NSCAA National Soccer Awards are widely seen as the leading recognition that a college soccer player can receive during his or her career. Players and coaches who excel are given due recognition through the NSCAA's award programs. Among the recognitions given are for the Coach of the Year, All-America at the Youth, High School and College levels, Player of the Year and the Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy, the highest individual award presented in intercollegiate soccer.
