Creighton's Duncan McGuire wins 2022 Men's MAC Hermann Trophy

Creighton senior forward Duncan McGuire, whose  23 goals scored were the most in Division 1 men’s soccer this season and broke Creighton’s record for goals in a season, is the 2022 Men's MAC Hermann Trophy winner.

McGuire scored three goals in his team’s season opener and from Oct. 19 to Nov. 13 scored at least one goal in seven straight games. In the postseason, the Blue Jay striker scored 10 goals and provided two assists. He had a four-goal game in a Big East Championship tournament semifinal game and then kept scoring as his team won the tournament and reached their sixth NCAA final four.

The Omaha, Nebraska native played for the Elkhorn Soccer Club and at Creighton Prep High School. 

McGuire is the second Creighton player to win the award after current Creighton coach Johnny Torres (1997).


Orlando City SC selected McGuire with the sixth overall pick in the MLS Superdraft.
