South Orange, N.J. – Seniors CJ Tibbling (Jarna, Sweden) and Luca Dahn (Kahl, Germany) of Seton Hall men's soccer were named to the 2021 United Soccer Coaches Men's Hermann Trophy Watch List on Thursday. The Hermann Trophy, presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club, is the nation's highest individual honor recognizing the nation's National Player of the Year.
Fifteen players will be named Hermann Trophy semifinalists on Nov. 30 following United Soccer Coaches Division I All-America voting after the regular season. A final round of voting names three finalists on Dec. 15. The 2021 winner is announced on Jan. 7, 2022, in a ceremony at the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis, Mo.
Earlier this month, Tibbling was selected as the BIG EAST's Preseason Co-Offensive Player of the Year while Dahn was honored as the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Both Tibbling and Dahn earned spots on the Preseason All-BIG EAST squad with Tibbling being a unanimous selection. The duo is coming off 2020 Second Team All-America selections as well as First Team All-BIG EAST honors.
On the offensive end, Tibbling led the Pirates with seven goals and 17 points on the season to go along with three assists. With his seven tallies, Tibbling ranked second in the BIG EAST and 20th in the country in goals scored. A mainstay in the Pirate defense, Dahn helped guide a back line that was the best in the BIG EAST at preventing shots on net and gave the Pirates a goal differential of +20, second best in the conference. In just his first year in a Seton Hall uniform, Dahn logged over 1500 minutes for The Hall and was on the pitch for all but nine minutes throughout the campaign. Despite lining up as a center back, Dahn also scored twice for The Hall while registering 12 shots on net, second best on the team.
