COLUMBUS, Ohio – Ohio State senior forward Kailyn Dudukovich has been named a semifinalist for the MAC Hermann Trophy as announced by the United Soccer Coaches and the Missouri Athletic Club. The 19 semifinalists were selected 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.
Dudukovich is the second Buckeye to be named a postseason semifinalist, joining Cassie Dickerson who was a semifinalist in 2010.
The West Chester, Ohio native led the country with 19 goals this season, one shy of the program’s single-season record. She also surpassed the program’s career record for goals and points, finishing with 44 career goals and 98 career points. Dudukovich had a hat trick in the second game of the season against Milwaukee and then scored a goal in nine of the last 13 matches of the season. Her 39 points this season were also second-most in a single-season in program history. Dudukovich earned unanimous first team All-Big Ten honors and was also a first team All-North Region honoree this season.
Three women's finalists will be named for the award on Wednesday, Dec. 11. The 2024 MAC Hermann Trophy banquet will be held at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis on Jan. 3, 2025, to formally announce this year’s winners.
