Jones Picks Up Two More Preseason Honors
8/20/2021 3:13:00 PM | Women's Soccer
DURHAM – Duke women's soccer junior Sophie Jones added two more preseason accolades to her growing collection this week, as she was tapped to the College Soccer News Preseason All-America Second Team on Wednesday and was included on the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List released Thursday.
A third-team All-America pick by College Soccer News in 2020-21, Jones enters her junior campaign with multiple other preseason awards that include Preseason All-ACC and TopDrawerSoccer.com Preseason Best XI honors. The Menlo Park, Calif., native emerged as one of the nation's top midfielders last season, scoring three goals over a five-game stretch during the spring and serving three assists in 21 starts. No offensive contribution was bigger than her game-winning goal in double-overtime to defeat Arizona State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on May 1. She finished the fall portion of the season with All-ACC First Team status and was named to the ACC All-Tournament Team after helping the Blue Devils advance to the semifinals.
Jones is one of 10 players from the ACC and 59 players overall named to the watch list for the MAC Hermann Trophy, awarded annually to the most outstanding male and female players of the year. The trophy watch lists are compiled by members of the United Soccer Coaches Men's and Women's NCAA Division I All-America committees. Fifteen players will be recognized as semifinalists on Nov. 30 following completion of Division-I All-America voting, before the top three players from a final round of voting will be named finalists on Dec. 8. The winner will be revealed on Jan. 7, 2022, at a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis, Mo.
A member of this past January's MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List, Jones is seeking to become the first Duke student-athlete to win the award. Of the trophy's 32 winners since 1988, 13 have come from the ACC.
Five Blue Devil alumnae over the past 10 years have been named semifinalists for the MAC Hermann Trophy – Natasha Anasi (2012), Christina Gibbons (2016), Imani Dorsey (2017), Quinn (2017) and Kayla McCoy (2018).

Jones and the No. 6 Blue Devils (1-0-0) look to build off a season-opening win over Arkansas when they host No. 19 Washington (0-1-0) in the second leg of the Carolina Nike Classic on Sunday, Aug. 22 at Koskinen Stadium. Kickoff is set for 12 p.m. on ACC Network Extra.
