GREENSBORO, N.C. (theACC.com) – Boston College junior forward Stefan Sigurdarson has been selected as the ACC Men’s Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, while Duke senior goalkeeper Eliot Hamill claimed ACC Defensive Player of the Week laurels.
 
Sigurdarson scored a pair of goals in the second half to lead the Eagles to a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Boston University last Monday. Both goals came with Boston College down to 10 men following a 31st-minute red card. The Kopavogur, Iceland native led BC with six shots on the night while playing 71 minutes. He scored the equalizer in the 47th minute and then recorded the eventual game winner in the 62nd minute.
 
Hamill recorded his second straight shutout Thursday as the Blue Devils scored a 1-0 road win against Michigan. The Scarsdale, New York, native made a pair of first-half saves in the key road triumph. Hamill now has four shutouts in his collegiate career with three coming in his last four games dating back to the 2020-21 season.
