OAKLAND, Calif. - Wake Forest junior Michael Lahoud was named Soccer America Player of the Week for his three goal performance in No. 1 Wake's 8-0 win over UNC Greensboro and 3-0 win over No. 15 Duke.
Lahoud, an Annandale, Va. native, played club soccer with Reston FC 86. Since becoming a Demon Deacon in 2005, Lahoud has started in 55 matches and logged minutes in 58 contests. All together, Lahoud has totaled 13 goals and 14 assists.
Lahoud netted his first goals of the 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 now has nine points on the season and 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.
