Montesdeoca Earns ACC Weekly Honor
CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina senior forward Giovanni Montesdeoca and Notre Dame junior forward Jack Lynn were selected as the ACC Men's Soccer Co-Offensive Players of the Week, while Notre Dame junior defender Philip Quinton was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week.
Montesdeoca was named ACC Offensive Player of the Week for the second straight week. The Dallas, Texas, native led the way as UNC blanked Virginia, 2-0, on Saturday. He scored UNC's first goal via a penalty kick after he was taken down in the box by a Cavalier defender. Less than three minutes later, Montesdeoca fed Riley Thomas for an insurance goal and a 2-0 lead.
