The first Orange Panther of the Week for the 2019-2020 academic year is junior wingback for the men’s soccer team Lucas Hales. On Saturday, Hales helped Orange shut out Union Pines 1-0 at WakeMed Soccer Park in the North Carolina Soccer Coaches Association Kickoff Classic in Cary. Hales helped contain Union Pines to only three shots on net in the game as Orange won the season opener. Lucas is a three-sport athlete. In the winter, he runs indoor track and focuses on the 400 and 800 meters for Orange’s outdoor track and field team. The Panthers lost to Williams in Burlington on Monday night. They will look to bounce back on Wednesday when they host Eastern Alamance in Hillsborough. Orange will travel to Hillside next Tuesday.
