FORT MYERS, Fla. – Florida Gulf Coast women's soccer senior midfielder Erika Zschuppe followed up her ASUN Player of the Week award with a pair of national recognitions on Tuesday.

Zschuppe's elite week earned her TopDrawerSoccer Player of the Week Status.  She also landed a spot as one of the 35 student-athletes on the 2025 NCAA Division I Women's Midseason Hermann Trophy Watch List.  

The Hermann Trophy is presented annually by the Missouri Athletic Club and is the nation's highest individual honor recognizing the National Player of the Year as determined by voting of Division I head coaches who are members of United Soccer Coaches. It is named in honor of the late Robert Hermann, the legendary St. Louis, Mo., businessman and soccer executive who founded the National Professional Soccer League, the first pro soccer league in the United States which became the North American Soccer League. He was inducted in the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame in 2012.

The 2025 midseason watch list was compiled by members of the Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List Committee from a list of returning 2024 All-Americans and First Team All-Region players. A total of 15 players will be named 2025 Hermann Trophy semifinalists on December 2 at the conclusion of NCAA Division I All-American voting. From that list, head coaches will cast votes, and three players will be named finalists. The 2025 recipient will be announced January 9, 2026, in a ceremony at the historic Missouri Athletic Club in downtown St. Louis, Mo.

The Kirtland, Ohio, native is tied for first in the NCAA with 14 goals on the season. Zschuppe's six scores on the week gave her five consecutive games with a goal dating back to Sept. 11. That mark is tied for the longest active goal scoring streak in the NCAA with Pepperdine's Julia Quinonez and Notre Dame's Izzy Engle.

It is also tied for the overall longest goal scoring streak in the NCAA this season (seven such occurrences in 2025, including Zschuppe), but Zschuppe's ten goals during that span are the most by any of the seven individuals who have accomplished that feat, surpassing Colorado's Hope Leyba, who had nine goals in five games.
