11.8.18 | Men's Soccer
PHILADELPHIA -- Senior men's soccer captain Hermann Doerner has been recognized as one of the nation's top student-athletes, earning a spot on the Academic All-District First Team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday. The Bad Nauheim, Germany native has now been named to the Academic All-District First Team two years in a row, and is one of just three midfielders in the district to earn the honor.
Doerner has played a pivotal role on the pitch as a four-year starter for Temple since he joined the team in 2015. The two-year team captain has spearheaded the central midfield over his campaign, starting 59 of the 63 games played and helping the squad qualify for the conference tournament three out the last four years. Doerner has notched 13 points from four goals and five assists over his career, playing a critical role both offensively and defensively for the Owls.
In the classroom, Doerner is an International Business major graduating in three and a half years with a 3.91 cumulative GPA. He was named a member of the Trustee Ten in 2017 for having a GPA that ranks among the top 10 highest within the athletic department, and received the Sherwin-Williams Temple Community Service Award in May 2017. A member of the Honors Program within the University's highly regarded Fox School of Business, Doerner also serves as the team's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee representative as well as an Executive Board Member for SAAC.
Doerner is one of 11 men's soccer players selected to the District 2 first team, which includes institutions in D.C., Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the Google Cloud Academic All-America ballot, tabbing Doerner eligible for the accolades.
CoSIDA's Academic All-America program began in 1952 and currently sponsors programs for men's soccer, women's soccer, football, volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, softball and men's and women's track and field/cross country, as well as student-athletes who compete in other sports through the At-Large program. Among the criteria for nomination, a student-athlete must be a starter or important reserve with at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA and must have reached sophomore athletic eligibility.
