MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE MEN'S SOCCER PLAYER OF THE WEEK RELEASE
Â
CLEVELAND, Ohio - University of Akron men's soccer junior David Egbo (Enugu, Nigeria) has been honored as the Mid-American Conference Men's Soccer Player of the Week, the league announced on Tuesday, Nov. 5. He shares the award with Isaac Walker of Western Michigan.
Â
Additionally, Egbo was selected by TopDrawerSoccer.com to its Men's Soccer National Team of the Week.
Â
Egbo scored his team-leading sixth and seventh goals over a 62-second span to help erase a 2-0 deficit with eight minutes to play to spark Akron to a 3-2 victory over Northern Illinois on Saturday, Nov. 2.
Â
Trailing 2-0, Egbo delivered a left-footed strike to the corner of the net at the 81:53 mark off balls played in from the wing by sophomore Pol Hernandez (Teia, Spain) and redshirt junior Diogo Pacheco (Lisbon, Portugal). Just over a minute later in the 83rd minute (82:55) he leveled the contest with a header that bested the keeper off an assist from senior Christian Lue Young (Plantation, Fla.)
Â
Egbo directed the Zips' offensive attack, equaling a career-high with a team-best seven shots, including a trio on net, en route to netting his fourth career multi-goal match. Akron posted a season-best 31 shots in the affair, including a season-best 12 shots on goal.
Â
On the season, Egbo leads Akron in goals (7), assists (3), points (17), shots (41) and shots on goal (19).
Â
Up next for Egbo and the Zips, Akron travels to Morgantown, W.Va. for their final regular season match on Thursday, Nov. 7. The match against the Mountaineers begins at 7 p.m.
