IU senior midfielder Conor Collins was named as the Atlantic Soccer Conference’s Player of the Week, Monday, after being selected Offensive MVP of last weekend’s Golden Panther Soccer Classic.

Collins tallied both goals in a 2-1 win over the University of Michigan in the tournament semifinals as the Golden Panthers went on to win the championship, defeating the University of Kentucky, Sunday, 1-0.

Those goals were the first of the season for the three-year letterwinner from Austin, Tex. who now ranks third on the squad with five points scored on his pair of goals and one assist.

The Golden Panthers conclude the ASC schedule this Friday when they host Binghamton University at 7:30 p.m. The Bearcats (1-13-0) had lost 12-in-a-row before beating Long Island University, 1-0, in overtime last Wednesday.
