Virginia senior midfielder Jeff Conner (Wallingford, Pa.) has been named the ACC Offensive Player of the Week.

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 it fourth and fifth-year student-athletes, including Conner, prior to Thursday’s contest.
