Stroud Garners TDS Preseason Best XI Recognition
DURHAM, N.C. — Top Drawer Soccer recently unveiled its Preseason Best XI teams and Duke rookie Peter Stroud earned a spot on the Preseason Freshman Best XI. Traditionally released in the fall, Top Drawer Soccer did not compile one this past fall as most conferences did not compete.
Stroud is one of four ACC rookies on the Freshman Best XI and one of 10 from the conference to land on one of the four teams overall.
A native of Chester, N.J., Stroud joined the Blue Devils after playing two years with West Ham United. He played for both the U18 and U23 West Ham sides and has been a fixture in the U.S. Youth National Teams in recent years.
