GREENSBORO, N.C. - Wake Forest's Michael Lahoud was named Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week after recording his first goals of the 2007 season in a pair of regular season shutouts for the top-ranked Demon Deacons.
Lahoud netted his first goals of season in Wake's 8-0 win over UNC Greensboro in back-to-back fashion at the Spartan Soccer Stadium last Tuesday. The forward/midfielder converted a penalty kick at the end of the first half and followed with an 18-yard missile for the Deacs' first goal of the second half.
The junior continued his offensive charge in the next match up, notching the game-winning assist in Wake's 3-0 win over ACC opponent and No. 15 Duke on Friday night in Durham, N.C. Lahoud also netted a goal of his own in the 30th minute, teaming up with classmate Jamie Franks to recover a rebounded shot by sophomore Cody Arnoux.
With Lahoud's three goals on the week, the Reston, Va., native now has nine points on the season. He also ranks third on the Demon Deacons' shot chart with 22 and fourth in shots on goal percentage (.409).
Wake Forest, which has recorded nine shutouts this season, returns to action on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in a non-conference tilt against Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C.
