ST. LOUIS, Mo. – Coastal Carolina men's soccer goalkeeper Tor Saunders has been named to the 2020-21 Men's MAC (Missouri Athletic Club) Hermann Trophy watch list.
 
The senior was recently drafted by the Nashville SC in the third round of the 2021 MLS SuperDraft. He will be back to play in the goal for the Chanticleers this spring before reporting to Nashville.
 
Saunders transferred into the Chanticleers program from Akron and became an instant on-field leader as CCU won both the Sun Belt regular-season and conference tournament to earn the league's automatic berth into the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship later this spring.
 
The Washington native not only became one of the top goalkeepers in the Sun Belt but in the nation as well.
 
He received the Sun Belt Conference Defensive Player of the Week honor twice while also receiving both the College Soccer News and TopDrawerSoccer.com National Teams of the Week award.
 
Following the fall season, he was named the Sun Belt Conference Newcomer of the Year to go along with All-Sun Belt honors. He topped the season of by being named to the Sun Belt Conference All-Tournament team while picking up the Sun Belt Conference Tournament Most Outstanding Player honor.
 
The MAC Hermann Trophy was started in 1967 to annually recognize the top men's collegiate soccer player. The trophy has been awarded each year since and in 1988, a second Hermann Trophy was inaugurated to recognize the top women's collegiate player of the year.
