The Numbers and Moments of Duke Soccer

Duke has the second most Hermann Trophy Award winners, second to Indiana’s seven. The Blue Devils are one of eight programs to have at least three winners and one of just 23 schools overall to have a single honoree.

When Andrew Wenger garnered the award in 2011, he was the first MAC Hermann Trophy winner to be coached by a former winner - John Kerr. The Hermann Trophy was first awarded in 1967 and the first Blue Devil to garner the honor was Joseph Ulrich in 1982. Ulrich started a stretch of Blue Devil winners as a Duke player captured the award in three of the following four years - Michael Jeffries (1983), Tom Kain (1985), John Kerr (1986).
