HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Senior John Daniele received his second accolade of the week after being selected for the Soccer America Team of the Week for his performance during the games played Sept. 24-30.
Daniele was the recipient of the Conference USA Co-Offensive Player of the Week, Monday, after registering two goals and two assists in three games.
The Columbus, Ohio native led the Herd to a perfect 3-0 with victories over Ohio Valley, Florida International and Florida Atlantic.
Daniele was credited with two assists against the Fighting Scots as the Herd eased past Ohio Valley, 7-0. Daniele's defensive play contributed to the Herd's 1-0 shutout win over Florida International in the C-USA opener.
Daniele closed out the weekend with two goals in Sunday afternoons 2-1 overtime victory against Florida Atlantic. After receiving a chip-shot from his brother Nick Daniele (Columbus, Ohio), John sent a shot to even the game at one late in the second half.
In the second minute of overtime, Daniele received a header from Osric Flores (Everett, Wash.) that he placed in the back of the net to seal the Herd victory.
Thanks to the play of Daniele, the Herd is 7-3-0 on the season and 1-0-0 in C-USA. They are riding a six-match winning-streak, the longest in school history since the 1982-83 seasons.
The Herd and Daniele return to action after a six-day break, when they travel to Lynchburg, Va., to challenge Liberty, Saturday, Oct. 6 at 1 p.m.
