Men's soccer sophomore Thorleifur Ulfarsson has been selected Duke's PNC Achievers Student-Athlete of the Week after scoring five goals in two games last week and recording his second collegiate hat trick in his 12th career game.
Â
The Blue Devils took down Howard with a 4-0 shutout on Tuesday night. Ulfarsson scored in the 26th, 55th, and 73rd minutes, for his first hat trick since scoring three at Virginia on March 28th, 2021. Â
Â
The Kopavogur, Iceland native also led the offense in Friday night's matchup, where No. 4 Duke earned a 3-1 victory over No. 14 Louisville. Ulfarsson scored two goals in the win during the 33rd and 87th minutes. He has now tallied 14 points in five games this season.
Â
Ulfarsson has helped lead the Blue Devils to a No. 4 national ranking, an 8-1-0 record and a 4-0-0 record in the ACC. He has now scored in three straight games for the first time in his collegiate career and has the largest two-game scoring output of his career.
