GREENSBORO, N.C. - National recognition for Atlantic Coast Conference women's soccer student-athletes continue to roll in, as Florida State's Mami Yamaguchi and North Carolina's Yael Averbuch and Tobin Heath are among 15 semifinalists named to the 2007 Missouri Athletic Club Hermann Trophy list.
Ridge, N.J.) have played pivotal roles for North Carolina in 2007. The Tar Heels returned to the NCAA Tournament for the 26th consecutive year, only one of two schools to have competed in the national postseason event since its inception in 1982. UNC earned a No. 1 overall seed, but later succumbed to a tough 3-2 loss to Notre Dame in the third round of the NCAA. The midfielders, who combined for eight goals, 11 assists and 27 points for UNC this season, helped the Heels capture their third straight league championship crown and 18th in the last 19 years.
