Women’s soccer Emina Ekic is the ACC’s Co-Freshman of the Year alongside North Carolina’s Alessia Russo. The homegrown talent is the first Cardinal to win a major ACC award.
Ekic started all 17 matches for U of L and led Louisville in scoring with 17 points. Her stellar freshman outing also landed her a spot on the All-ACC Second Team.
The freshman had two game-winning goals for the Cards and finished in the top 10 of the ACC in goals, points and shots.
Coach Karen Ferguson-Dayes gushed over her talented freshman.
“It is a very well deserved honor and I am excited to watch her continue to flourish over the next three years,” Ferguson-Dayes said. “She is completely dedicated to being the best soccer player, teammate and person that she can be. She is truly a pleasure to coach.”
