WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - Sophomore midfielder Bianca D'Agostino was named Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week and a member of Soccer America Women's Team of the Week after scoring two game-winning goals, the first two goals of her collegiate career, and an assist in the Wake Forest Nike Tournament last weekend.

D'Agostino tallied the game-winning goals against Charlotte and Cal State Fullerton. D'Agostino also added an assist against the 49ers. She was named to the Wake Forest Nike Tournament All-Tournament Team after her performance in the two games.

A native of Longmeadow, Mass., D'Agostino becomes the first Wake Forest women's soccer player to be named ACC Player of the Week this season. Last season, Jill Hutchinson earned ACC Player of the Week honors twice.

D'Agostino is the second Deacon player to earn national recognition after Sarah Winslow was named to the Soccer Buzz Elite Team of the Week earlier in the season.

Wake Forest is back in action on Friday as it hosts UNC Greensboro at 7 p.m. at Spry Stadium.
