The Atlantic Coast Conference announced the 2024 Men’s Soccer All-ACC Teams and Players of the Year. Cavalier defender Nick Dang was named a second-team All-ACC selection.

A transfer from Lipscomb, Dang has started as a center back in each game this season. A defensive anchor of the Cavalier back line, Dang has led a Virginia defense that ranks second in ACC with a goals against average of just 1.00 per game.

In addition to his impressive defensive record, Dang proved to be a lethal presence in the box on set piece situations. His six tally of six goals on the season leads a Cavalier team that has scored 32 on the season.
