WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Wake Forest senior forward Scott Sealy was named College Soccer News National Player of the Week on Monday. Sealy scored goals in each of the Demon Deacons' victories this week to extend his streak of consecutive matches with a goal to five.
Sealy, a native of Petit Valley, Trinidad, got behind the Hokie defense, went one-on-one and buried his 12th of the season and 38th of his career. With his assist earlier in the match, Sealy moved into sole possession of second place on the all-time points chart (94) and passed former All-American Jeremiah White for second place in career goals.
Just moments into the second half against the Tar Heels, Sealy received the ball with his back to the goal. The All-American candidate spun, beat a pair of Carolina defenders and slotted the ball past Tar Heel netminder Ford Williams. The goal for Sealy was his 13th of the season and 39th of his career. Already second on the career goals and points list, Sealy moved into sole possession of fifth place on the single-season scoring list. The forward has now recorded six gamewinning goals this season.
The victory over North Carolina not only secured at least a share of the 2004 ACC Regular Season Championship, but also gave the Demon Deacons five ACC victories for the first time in school history. Wake Forest also improved to 5-0 on the road this season and 6-0-1 away from Spry Stadium. With Virginia's loss to Virginia Tech this past Saturday evening, the Demon Deacons now can capture the ACC Regular Season Championship outright and secure the upcoming tournament's top-seed with a victory at Duke this Friday, Nov. 6.
Sealy has now garnered the award twice this season.
Wake Forest returns to action Tuesday night, Nov. 2, at Davidson. Kickoff with the Wildcats is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
