Tokyo native and Florida State University junior Mami Yamaguchi capped one of the great seasons in college soccer history on Saturday by being named the 2007 female recipient of the MAC Hermann Trophy.
The award is given to the top player in NCAA Division I soccer by the Missouri Athletic Club and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA).
"I am just so glad to win this great award," Yamaguchi said in St. Louis. "I would like to first thank my teammates, coaches and Florida State University, without them I would not have received such a prestigious honor. I would also like to share this award with everyone back in Tallahassee.
