High Point University’s Connor Robinson scored two quick unassisted goals, triggering a rally that propelled the Panthers past the Air Force Falcons 7-6 in Southern Conference Div. 1 field lacrosse action last week.
It was followed by a goal in a 13-7 victory over Mercer, the team’s fifth straight win after beginning the season 0-6.
Robinson, a New West native and St. Thomas More alumnus, was tops in the Southern Conference in goals with 32 over 13 games this season, his fourth at the North Carolina university. He sits second in points, trailing teammate Asher Nolting.
For his efforts, Robinson was named this week to the All-SoCon second team.
His senior season to date includes a five-goal game, a pair of four-goal games and a six-game stretch midway though the season where he counted 22 goals.
The 21-year-old was taken No. 1 overall by Langley at the Western Lacrosse Association’s junior draft last February.
