Wilson Rookie of the Week
Conor McCoy, Quinnipiac
Fr., D, Newry, Northern Ireland/Abbey
McCoy netted a goal in Quinnipiac's come-from-behind, overtime victory vs. Marist on Sept. 1, 2016. He tipped in a James Doig corner kick in the 55th minute that got Quinnipiac on the board. Doig placed the ball in front of Marist's net from the far corner, and McCoy deflected it into the back of the net with his right foot to cut the lead to one goal. The Bobcats would eventually score three-straight second-half goals to earn their first conference win of the season.
