MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE MEN'S SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK RELEASE
CLEVELAND, Ohio - University of Akron men's soccer sophomore David Egbo (Enugu, Nigeria) has been honored as the Mid-American Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday, Sept. 18.
Additionally, Egbo was selected by TopDrawerSoccer.com to its Men's Soccer National Team of the Week.
Egbo recorded his first career hat trick with a three-goal explosion in Akron's 10-0 victory over Canisius, the preseason Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference favorites, on Sept. 15.
Registering a trio of goals, while adding a pair of assists, including on the game-winning tally, Egbo's eight-point performance marked the best single-game effort for an Akron player since Victor Souto recorded a hat trick and added an assist in a 4-1 victory over Michigan State on Oct. 21, 2015. His effort represented the second multi-goal game of the season for Egbo, who leads the Zips in goals (6), assists (3), points (15), shots (16), shots on goal (9) and game-winners (1).
A nifty back-heel flick in the box by Egbo in the 38th minute (37:45) directly resulted in senior Ezana Kahsay (Asmeras, Eritrea) scoring what proved to be the game-winning tally. Egbo then added an assist on senior Morgan Hackworth's (Bradenton, Fla.) goal at the 38:56 mark.
He connected on his fourth goal of the season at the 45:30 mark before creating his own offense taking a ball down the middle of the pitch and finding the back of the net in the 51st minute (50:06). Egbo capped his first career hat trick at the 54:23 mark registering his team-leading sixth goal of the season.
Egbo and the Zips return to action on Thursday, Sept. 20, as the Zips travel to Phoenix, Ariz., for a 10 p.m. ET tilt at Grand Canyon.
