AKRON, Ohio - University of Akron men's soccer sophomore David Egbo (Enugu, Nigeria) was honored on Monday, Aug. 27, by College Soccer News as a member of its Men's Soccer National Team of the Week.

Egbo turned in a breakout game in the Zips' season opener versus No. 9 Butler on Friday, Aug. 24, registering his first-ever multi-goal performance in a 2-2 double-overtime draw versus the Bulldogs. He finished the evening with two goals on the strength of a career-best five shots, including three on goal.

After Akron fell behind 1-0 early in the contest, Egbo nearly netted the equalizer in the 13th minute (12:52) as only a diving lunge from Butler defender Kieran Geldenhuys for a team save prevented the header from finding the back of the net.
