Conner Tabbed ACC Offensive Player of the Week
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia senior midfielder Jeff Conner (Wallingford, Pa.) has been named the ACC Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced on Tuesday (April 26). The honor is the first of Conner’s career.
Conner posted a career-high seven points on four goals and three assists in the Cavaliers’ 21-15 win at Syracuse (April 23). The two-way midfielder only needed six shots to score four times as Virginia’s 21 goals tied for the highest goal total by a Syracuse opponent in Carrier Dome history. Conner also added two ground balls and one caused turnover.
Conner’s performance helped the Cavaliers lock up at least a share of the program’s 19th ACC title.
Up next, No. 4 Virginia (10-3) closes out the regular-season slate when it hosts Lafayette (4-10) on Thursday (April 28). Opening faceoff is set for 6 p.m. on ACC Network. Virginia will recognize its fourth and fifth-year student-athletes, including Conner, prior to Thursday’s contest.
