ACC Player of the Week graphic Montesdeoca 2021

March 9, 2021 | Men's Soccer

CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina senior forward Giovanni Montesdeoca has been named the ACC Men's Soccer Offensive Player of the Week, while Virginia junior defender Oliver Gerbig was tabbed ACC Defensive Player of the Week.

Montesdeoca scored a pair of second-half goals to lead the Tar Heels to a 3-0 win over fourth-ranked Pitt on Friday night. In the ninth minute of the second half, Montesdeoca took a pass from Jonathan Jimenez and scored to give UNC a 2-0 lead over the Panthers. Thirteen minutes later, he scored on a penalty kick to ice the win.

Hailing from Dallas, Texas, Montesdeoca leads North Carolina in goals (3) and points (7) this season.

Gerbig helped the Cavaliers to a pair of shutouts, including a defensive performance that did not yield a shot on goal in a 1-0 overtime win against Notre Dame on Sunday. In the spring opener against George Mason on Tuesday, he assisted on the game-winning goal, notching his first career point to lead Virginia to a 3-0 victory.
