Cichero Named To 2016 MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (NSCAA/SMU) – SMU men's soccer player and 2015 NSCAA All-America selection Mauro Cichero has been named to the 2016 MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, the organization announced on Wednesday. The junior is one of 28 student-athletes on the preseason edition of the list and one of four returnees to be mentioned who were named semifinalists for the award a season ago.

The MAC Hermann Trophy is the most prestigious individual award in college soccer, presented annually to one male and one female athlete.

Cichero was named the American Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year a season ago after registering a team-leading 10 goals and 29 points, as SMU advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 and won the AAC regular-season title. He was also second on the team with nine assists. On the conference level, Cichero was in the top five of nine statistical categories, including points (2nd), goals (tied-4th), assists (3rd) and match-winning goals (tied-4th). He was named the AAC Offensive Player of the Week three times and was nationally recognized as the College Soccer News National Player of the Week on Oct. 12.

In two seasons with the Mustangs, Cichero has started all 38 matches played and has tallied 12 goals, including five match winners, and 13 assists.

Cichero spent a portion of the summer playing for the OKC Energy U23 team, which currently leads the USL PDL Mid South Division. He ranks second on the team with four goals.

The last Mustang to win the award was SMU great Luchi Gonzalez following the 2001 season. Gonzalez also won the NSCAA Player of the Year award that year when the awards were separate. Daniel Hernandez was honored with the NSCAA award as well in 1997.

Near the end of the collegiate regular season, NSCAA member coaches from NCAA Division I programs will vote for the top 15 semifinalists. There will also be a fan vote on semifinalists in November. Three finalists from the men's side will be selected from that group and winners will be announced Jan. 6, 2017, during the trophy presentation banquet at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis.
