Santa Clara’s Collier Has Top Performance

ATLANTA – After leading Santa Clara to a road upset over No. 9 Grand Canyon on Sunday, Broncos sophomore attackman Keaton Collier posted the MCLA Division I Commanding Performance of the Week powered by Under Armour for the period ending Feb. 3.

Playing his second game in as many days against the Top 10 Lopes, Collier scored six goals to lead the Broncos to the 13-10 upset.

The day before in a one-goal setback to Arizona, Collier delivered three goals and an assist for a combined 10 points on the weekend.

“Keaton put the offense on his back,” said Santa Clara coach Greg Mengis. “His box lacrosse training was on display, as he scored multiple goals all around the crease. As prolific of a scorer as he can be, Keaton also made his presence felt with the little things that made a big difference. He gathered four ground balls, notched two assists, controlled the offensive pace, and caused a number of turnovers with his hustle on the rides.”

For his efforts in earning the Commanding Performance of the Week powered by Under Armour, Collier will receive a new Under Armour Command Head – a $100 value. Under Armour is the proud sponsor of the MCLA.
