GREENSBORO, N.C. – Following his two goals against Notre Dame, sophomore
Shakur Mohammed has been named the ACC Offensive Player of the week, as announced by the league on Tuesday afternoon.
This is Mohammed's second time earning the recognition in 2022 following his Co-Offensive Player of the Week honors in early September. He's the second Blue Devils player in a row to earn conference honors after
Eliot Hamill was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week on Oct. 11.
Mohammed recorded his second brace of 2022 to help No. 3 Duke to a 2-0 victory against Notre Dame on Friday. The native of Kumasi, Ghana, opened the scoring with a header in the 25th minute and put the contest out of reach in the 82nd minute with a sliding shot that found the corner of the goal. Mohammed now has seven goals in 2022 and leads the ACC in game-winning goals with four.
The sophomore also earned national recognition after his performance last week, being named College Soccer News' Men's National Player of the Week along with being named to their National Team of the Week. The National Player of the Week recognition is the first of Mohammed's career at Duke and he makes his second appearance of 2022 on the publication's National Team of the Week.
Duke plays their final regular season non-conference game on Tuesday night, welcoming George Washington to Koskinen Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m., with streaming available on ACCNX.
