SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Junior Ben Polk has earned an additional honor for helping Syracuse to the 2015 ACC Men's Soccer Championship. The tournament MVP is College Soccer News' Player of the Week.

Polk tallied both of the Orange's goals in a 2-0 win at No. 2 Clemson in the semifinals. He then scored Syracuse's only goal in a 1-0 victory at No. 9 Notre Dame in the championship tilt. Polk was one of four members of the Orange to earn All-Tournament honors and was chosen as the MVP.
