Connor earned Patriot League recognition for the second straight week after leading the team in assists (5) and points (7) to go along with two goals. He tied his career-high in assists and points for the third time in four games.
The sophomore recorded three points (1G, 2A) in the second quarter that saw the Raiders outscore the Greyhounds 7-1 to pull away. Connor ranks third in the conference in assists per game (2.83) and sixth in points per game (4.83).
