August 11, 2010 - Green Bay men's soccer junior Tony Walls (Wauwatosa, Wis.) has been named to the Hermann Trophy Watch List for the 2010 season. The Hermann Trophy is awarded annually by the Missouri Athletic Club to the United States' top male and female college soccer players.

The 5'10'' junior midfielder has consistently been a solid player for the Phoenix throughout his career. Walls scored Green Bay's first ever goal in the NCAA Tournament and was a First Team All-League selection last season. In addition Walls was a NSCAA Great Lakes First Team All-Region selection and All-State Team selection.

During his freshman season Walls was named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year and earned Second Team All-League honors.

The Watch List consists of 39 men's soccer players from the around country, seven from the Great Lakes region. The process of selecting a winner for the Hermann Trophy begins at the start of the season before being narrowed down to 15 semifinalists.

Earlier this week the Phoenix also received votes in the NSCAA preseason poll. Green Bay will open its season at home Wednesday, Sept. 1 as it hosts DePaul.
