ST. LOUIS, Mo. – University of Maine soccer forward Abby Kraemer has been named to the 2024 Hermann Trophy Watch List, as announced this week by the United Soccer Coaches.
 
Kraemer, a senior, is one of just 44 Division I women's soccer players named to the list and the only player from an America East program on the 2024 Watch List.
 
In 2023, Kraemer produced one of the best single seasons in program history and helped the program to its first-ever America East Championship and NCAA Tournament berth. Kraemer became the first All-American in program history, earning Second Team honors. The recognition was the first time an America East women's soccer student athlete had received All-American status since 2012. Additionally, Kraemer was named a 2023 United Soccer Coaches All-Region First Team selection, the only non-power five school player chosen for the team.
 
Kraemer also earned America East Striker of the Year honors and received America East All-Conference First Team accolades after leading the league in points (30), points per game (1.76), goals (13), goals per game (0.72), game-winning goals (6), shots (68) and shots per game (3.78) and consistently ranked in the top 15 in the nation in those same categories throughout the season. Her 13 goals marked the most for an America East player in a single season since 2018 and her six game-winning goals on the year tied for the most by an America East player since 2019.
