Forwards Aaron King and Bryant Salter, midfielder John Queeley and defender Rami Ghanayem were all named, and Salter earned MVP honors.
So far this season for NC State, the Pack is off to a 1-1 start, having defeated St. Francis (N.Y.) 1-0 and losing to Hartford 2-0 in last weekends Wolfpack Classic. Redshirt-freshman Chris Widman has got the nod in goal in each game, and recorded his first career shutout against St. Francis (N.Y.). The Wolfpack offense will be looking to find the back of the more this weekend, as freshman Sean Campbell registered the only goal last weekend.
South Florida is currently ranked No. 24 in the Soccer America Poll and No. 18 in the NSCAA Poll after going 1-1 over the first week of the season. The Bulls won at Florida International 1-0 to start the season, but fell at home to Fordam 2-1 last weekend.
