DURHAM, N.C. – Men's soccer freshman Thorleifur Ulfarsson has been selected Duke's PNC Achiever's Student-Athlete of the Week after recording a hat trick to lead the Blue Devils to a 3-1 victory over Virginia Sunday.
The Kopavogur, Iceland native's hat trick Sunday was the first by a Blue Devil since Oct. 16, 2015. After Sunday's grand performance, Ulfarsson has a total of four goals and an assist this season, securing his position of leading scorer on the team.
In addition, the three goals scored by Ulfarsson at Virginia were the first allowed by the Cavaliers at home this spring and are tied for the most they've allowed overall this season.
