The Atlantic Coast Conference announced its weekly honors on Tuesday, recognizing two standout soccer players for their contributions during the opening weeks of the season.
Xander Sevian of Clemson turned heads with a decisive performance that saw him net two goals and set up another in victories over Furman and East Tennessee State University, marking his first career brace and his inaugural goal against the Paladins.
Beau Morrison of California added a defensive masterpiece to his résumé, anchoring a backline that kept a clean sheet against Portland and producing a crucial goal‑line clearance that preserved the shutout.
Both honorees helped their programs climb to a combined record of 17‑7‑5, a stretch that includes wins over nationally ranked opponents such as No. 3 Furman and No. 4 Saint Louis, underscoring the competitive depth of the league.
Rising Stars
Sevian’s offensive burst and Morrison’s defensive reliability signal a promising pipeline of talent that could shape the next generation of ACC standouts.
What’s Next
Clemson will travel to face a formidable non‑conference opponent in the coming week, while California aims to extend its unbeaten streak against a top‑ten rival, setting the stage for further drama in a season that has already delivered surprise results.
