To say that junior Cody Arnoux has contributed to the men’s soccer team this year is an understatement. Arnoux scored three goals in roughly 10 minutes against Virginia Tech and added another one against Elon and UMass. He’s had five goals in the last three games this season. Arnoux has been named to both Soccer America’s and Top Drawer’s Soccer’s National Team of the Week. With Arnoux on track, the men’s team has the chance to a repeat performance in December.

On his favorite class at Wake:

Probably Movement for Men with Professor Christina Soriano, she was our guest coach tonight.

Its really nice to go to class and not worry about doing assignments and stuff like that.

On his favorite pro sports team:

The Carolina Panthers. I’m from North Carolina, and I go to a lot of their games.

On the game he looks forward to most:

UVA at UVA, because we went there my freshman year and it’s just a really good atmosphere to play in. I scored the game-winning goal there my freshman year so its good to get back on their field.

On the team goals this season:

We want to win the ACC Regular Season Championship, the ACC Championship and the National Championship, back-to-back.

But obviously, most important to us is winning the National Championship again.

On the toughest game on their schedule:

That’s a good question. So far, I think the toughest team we’ve played has been Maryland.

And I think with the ACC being such a competitive conference, every time you play an ACC team it’s a pretty good game.
