Videira Keeps On Piling Up Awards After Outstanding Junior Season
12/19/2006 12:00:00 AM | Men's Soccer
DURHAM, N.C. - Junior midfielder Michael Videira added two more awards to his resume this past week. He was named to the 2006 College Soccer News All-America First Team and Soccer America's 2006 College Men's Most Valuable Players. These two latest achievements further lengthen an already extensive list of accomplishment for the Milton, Mass. native this year.
Videira was one of only eight players named to both the College Soccer News and Soccer America's top teams this season. Only 11 players make these top teams each year.
Videira was at the center of Duke's success all season long. He tallied eight goals, including five game winners, and recorded seven assists. Videira was a starter in all 20 of Duke's 23 games that he was able to play in. For his efforts in Duke's championship run, he was named the ACC Tournament's Most Valuable Player, and was honored by being placed on the All-ACC First Team for the regular season. It is the third year in as many played for Videira that he was named to an All-ACC team. He was named to the Academic All-America third team for his performance on the field and in the classroom. Videira was chosen for both Top Drawer Soccer's and College Soccer News' National Teams of the Year. He was also listed among the 15 players named as a semifinalist for the Hermann Trophy, and one of only two on that list who was on it for the second straight year. In addition to leading the Blue Devils to the ACC Tournament and regular season titles, he also helped top-seeded Duke reach the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament before bowing out to eventual NCAA runner-up UCLA in overtime 3-2. All of this has happened despite Videira missing three games due to injury late in the regular season. His most recent accomplishment was being named to the 2006 NCAA Division I Men's NSCAA/adidas All-America Third Team, which made him only the third player in Duke Men's Soccer history to be named Academic All-America and All-America in the same season.
