DURHAM – Duke men's soccer sophomores Peter Stroud and Thorleifur Ulfarsson have been selected as All-Americans by United Soccer Coaches, as the organization announced Thursday.
Â
Both players become the program's first All-Americans since Daniele Proch in 2018. Ulfarsson was named to the first team, the program's first since Andrew Wenger in 2011, while Stroud a third team selection. Stroud and Ulfarsson become the 37th and 38th All-Americans in program history.
Â
In John Kerr's head coaching tenure in Durham, the Blue Devils have had nine individuals win at least one All-America distinction, with Stroud and Ulfarsson joining James Belshaw, Ryan Finley, Mike Grella, Sebastian Ibeagha, Proch, Wenger and Brian White.
Â
A native of Kopavogur, Iceland, Ulfarsson caps a highly decorated sophomore campaign, in which he was named a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, the 2021 ACC Offensive Player of the Year, All-ACC First Team and one of the top scorers in the nation. Ulfarsson finished the season with 15 goals and one assist for 31 points in just 16 games, leading the ACC in several statistical categories.
Â
The 2021 ACC Midfielder of the Year, Stroud had a breakout sophomore season, with four goals and four assists for 12 points, while setting a career high in minutes played at 1,711. Stroud was named All-ACC First Team and to the ACC's All-Tournament Team, becoming one of the top two-way players in the nation as an active and energetic midfielder.
Â
The duo will be honored at the All-America ceremony and reception Jan. 22, 2022, in Kansas City, Mo., held in conjunction with the United Soccer Coaches Convention.
