EVANSTON, Ill. (August 21, 2024) – Collin McCamy (Wake Forest, N.C./Crossroads Flex), Nigel Prince (Atlanta, Ga./Forsyth Academy), and Fritz Volmar (Peoria, Ill./Laurel Springs) of the Northwestern University men's soccer team have been named to the Big Ten Conference's Players to Watch List, it was announced by the league office on Wednesday.
McCamy was a fixture in the Wildcat lineup last season, starting in all 17 games. A First Team All-Big Ten selection, the Wake Forest, N.C. native closed the year with four assists, a mark that ranked second on the Wildcat roster. McCamy found the back of the net twice, registering the deciding strikes in road wins over Milwaukee (Sept. 1) and Maryland (Sept. 29).
Since joining the 'Cats prior to the 2022 season, Prince has started in 29 of his 31 career appearances. In 2023, Prince, also a First Team All-Big Ten honoree, played in 1,524 of a possible 1,530 minutes of game action, contributing to six shutouts. A Second Team All-North Region selection by the United Soccer Coaches, the 6-foot-2 defender scored the game-winning goal in Northwestern's thrilling 1-0 triumph over Indiana on October 24.
Out of Peoria, Ill., Volmar burst on the scene last season as a first-year, starting in 16 of his 17 outings en route to earning a unanimous nod to the Big Ten's All-Freshman Team. He played a full 90 minutes in nine contests, scoring his first collegiate goal in a 4-2 victory against Ohio State on September 24. Volmar checked in at No. 7 on TopDrawerSoccer.com's Freshman Top 100 rankings at the conclusion of the campaign.
Northwestern was picked to finish eighth in the Big Ten Conference's Preseason Poll, which was also unveiled. Indiana, the Big Ten's reigning regular season and tournament champion, was a unanimous selection by the conference's head coaches to defend its league title.
Coming off its first 10-win season since 2013, Northwestern officially opens the 2024 season on Thursday, August 22 when it entertains Green Bay in a 7 p.m. kickoff at Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium.
