CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Senior midfielder Lori Lindsey, who has led the Virginia Cavaliers in scoring the last two seasons, has been officially added to the list of candidates for the Hermann Award. Given annually to the nation’s top player, the winner of the award will be named Dec. 8, at the College Cup in Dallas, Texas.

Lindsey was one of two players added to the original list of 13 candidates. Laura Schott of California was the other player added. Also on the list are Santa Clara’s Danielle Slaton and Aly Wagner, Penn State’s Christie Welsh, Florida’s Abby Wambach, BYU’s Aleisha Cramer, UCLA’s Mary-Frances and Stephanie Rigamat, Portland’s Lauren Orlandos, North Carolina’s Danielle Borgman and Jena Kluegel, Nebraska’s Christine Latham, Washington’s Hope Solo and Texas A&M’s Nicky Thrasher.

In head-to-head competition, Lindsey has faced off against Florida’s Wambach, BYU’s Cramer and will see North Carolina’s Borgman on Oct. 25. Lindsey scored a goal in the Cavaliers 1-1 tie with the Gators on Sept. 23, while Wambach was held scoreless. Lindsey had two goals against BYU on Oct. 4, including a game-winner in overtime, while Cramer was also held scoreless.

Lindsey captured was named ACC Player of the Year last season, after leading the Cavaliers to an 11-8-1 overall record, while helping the team to a second-round NCAA appearance, nearly upsetting eventual National Champion North Carolina.

In 2001, Lindsey has once again been in command at midfield, leading the team with 18 points (8 goals, 2 assists), just three points shy of her 21 points that earned her Player of the Year honors last season.
