Kerr is the ACC Player of the Week

SYRACUSE N.Y.- Sophomore forward Deandre Kerr's standout performance in the games against Niagara and Virginia earned him ACC Offensive Player of the Week for week two of the 2021 season. He was also selected to the Top Drawer Soccer Team of the Week for September 6-12. He leads the team in goals scored and is tied for second in the ACC. Kerr is also leading the ACC in shots on goal with 11 shots on the season so far.

Kerr continued his success in the first ACC game of the season against ARV Virginia (Sept. 10), tallying two goals that night. Just six minutes into the game, he carried the ball down the field and put it past the Virginia goalie to give Syracuse the early 1-0 lead. Kerr also recorded the third goal of the game when he found the back of the net from just inside the box.

The Ajax, Ontario native scored his first goal of the 2021 campaign during the game against Niagara (Sept. 6). He positioned himself at the top of the box and found the back of the net when he was fed the ball, to give the Orange a 1-0 lead in the game. Syracuse is now 3-2 on the season.

Kerr was selected to the 2021 ACC Preseason Watch List as well as being named to the ACC All-Freshman Team last season.
