California men's soccer forward Luka Lukic was named to the All-ACC Third Team, the conference announced Wednesday, after he recorded career highs in goals and points through the regular season and the first two games of the ACC Championship.
 
A product of Serbia, Belgrade, Lukic joined Cal in 2025 after completing the undergraduate portion of his career at UC Riverside. Now a graduate student, Lukic leads Cal in goals (8), points (17), shots (40) and shots on goal (21) through 17 games, with Cal next taking on Virginia in the semifinal round of the ACC Championship on Thursday in Cary, North Carolina.
 
Lukic made an immediate impact for Cal, scoring three goals in his first two games as a Bear including a brace in a 3-2 win at Saint Mary's in the season opener and the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory at UCLA in the second game. For those efforts, Lukic collected the first ACC Offensive Player of the Week honor of the season. His most recent goal came in Cal's 2-0 victory at Duke in the first round of the ACC Championship. The striker was fouled in the Blue Devils' penalty area to earn a penalty kick and then converted the PK to cap the Bears' win.
