DURHAM, N.C.—Duke University center back Markus Fjørtoft has been named to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week after leading the Blue Devils to a pair of shutout victories last week. The Norwegian native played all 180 minutes as Duke extended its shutout streak to 229:53.
Fjørtoft, playing all but four minutes this season, led the backline in a pair of outstanding defensive efforts last week. In a midweek contest against Elon, he was instrumental in holding the Phoenix to only six shots in the game, including only two on frame. Elon also only managed four corner kicks in the 1-0 setback to the Blue Devils.
