Syracuse forward Levonte Johnson earned College Soccer News Player of the Week honors. He notched two goals and one assist in SU’s wins over No. 1 Clemson and Niagara, and he leads the Orange with nine points this season.

Several minutes after an eighth-minute goal by Clemson, Johnson pressured Tiger goalkeeper Trevor Manion. He got a touch around him and faced an open net, but couldn’t get enough power behind the low-driven shot. But after a miscommunication by two Clemson defenders, Johnson regained possession and played a short ball to Jeorgio Kocevski in the box for an easy goal to level the game.

In the 48th minute, Johnson scored the game-winning goal for the Orange, driving from the right side of the 18, cutting and roofing the ball into Manion’s net to put SU up 2-1. The goal secured Syracuse’s second consecutive upset win over the Tigers, who are also the defending champions.

After bouncing around several schools, most recently Seattle University, the Canadian has found a consistent spot in Syracuse’s starting 11. In August, he was nominated to the Hermann Trophy Watch List, the highest honor in college soccer.
