ATLANTA – After guiding No. 4 Georgia Tech to a 9-4 victory over No. 13 Brigham Young on Saturday evening, Yellow Jackets senior attackman Conrad McEvoy has earned MCLA Division I Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior for the period ending Feb. 2.
With the Yellow Jackets hoping to notch a win its season-opener at home, McEvoy stood tall. The Suwanee, Ga., native scored four goals – matching BYU’s entire output – to send the Ramblin’ Wreck to the win.
"Conrad did a nice job as usual of finding space and reading the defensive rotations to get himself open around the goal,” said Georgia Tech offensive coordinator E.J. Freeman. “His teammates have seen his ability as a finisher and trust him to make the play even in the smallest amount of space.
“He found himself in dangerous spots throughout the game, but especially in big moments. He scored our second goal to give us a lead going into the second quarter. Then he added two goals back to back in the second quarter to help push us out to a 6-1 lead. Conrad is a known quantity for our opponents, but still does a really nice job of being patient and finding the space he needs despite teams trying to take him away."
For his efforts in earning the Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior, McEvoy will receive a new Warrior Burn 2 – a $90 value. Warrior is a proud supporter of the MCLA.
