For the second straight week, Nick Mariano has been named the ACC Offensive Player of the Week. This time, however, he is joined by teammate Scott Firman who has been honored as the ACC Co-Defensive Player of the Week alongside Duke’s Kyle Rowe.
Mariano has been lighting up the scoreboard this season as the leading scorer for the Syracuse Orange, and last weekend he tagged the Notre Dame Fighting Irish for four goals including the eventual game winner with 8:42 left in the game. The senior was able to capitalize on Notre Dame’s decision to leave a shorty on him for much of the game.
