MALE: Daud Dahir (Ottawa, Ont.) – 5th yr – Carleton Ravens – Soccer
Carleton midfielder Daud Dahir (Ottawa, Ont.) has been named the Investors Group OUA Athlete of the Week after leading the Ravens to three victories this past week.
On Wednesday night, the fifth-year commerce major scored three times in the second half as Carleton cruised to a 9-1 victory at home against the Trent Excalibur.
The Ottawa, Ont. native followed that up on Friday, scoring the opening goal of the game in the 11th minute against RMC. That would be all the offence the Ravens would need, defeating the Paladins 4-0.
Just as he did against RMC, Dahir opened the scoring for the Ravens against Queen’s on Sunday, finding the back of the net in the 9th minute to give Carleton an early 1-0 lead in an eventual 4-2 victory.
Thanks to a big weekend, Dahir now finds himself in a five-way tie atop of the OUA scoring leaderboard with five goals.
Dahir and the Ravens will look to extend their winning streak to four games when they host the visiting Laurentian Voyageurs at MNP Park on Friday night.
