Charlotte, N.C. – Three members of NC State men's soccer earned All-ACC honors as announced by the conference office on Wednesday afternoon. Taig Healy and Hakim Karamoko were named to the All-ACC Second Team while Niko Markovic was named to the All-Freshman team.
Karamoko earns All-ACC Second Team honors by closing out the season leading the Pack in goals and points with seven and 16 total, respectively. The New York native also tied for second on the team with 38 shots taken. Throughout the regular season he played in all 16 regular season games with 11 starts while collecting two assists.
He was put on the 15 player ACC Men's Soccer Preseason Watch List back in August after closing out the 2023 campaign with All-Freshman Team honors.
Healy was also named to the All-ACC Second Team after tallying six goals and three assists so far this year. The New Hampshire transfer quickly put himself on the map to start the season and was eventually named to TopDrawerSoccer's Top-100 Midseason Watch List at No. 65. Five of his goals came from the first nine games of the 2024 slate, including opponents such as High Point, James Madison, and Duke.
The junior midfielder, started all 17 games and he netted his sixth goal in the opening round of the ACC Tournament against Virginia.
Markovic earned All-Freshman honors from his impressive season on the defensive back line for the Pack. Originally, he did not hold a starting spot but filled in for an injured teammate early in the season and let his actions earn the starting nod for him. The Quebec, Canada native would then go on start and play the remaining 14 games of the season. He was even able to record two assists in the home game against Winthrop and on the road at William & Mary.
The Wolfpack finished ninth in the ACC for the 2024 regular season and hosted Virginia for the first round of the conference tournament. The team awaits the release of the NCAA Tournament bracket on Monday, November 18 at 1 p.m.
