CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) — Eastern Michigan University senior Cougar Collins (Caledon, Ontario, Canada-Mayfield Secondary) was named the Mid-American Conference Golfer of the Week for the second time in his career today, Feb. 11. The honor comes after a strong showing at Earl Yestingsmeier Match Play, Feb. 7-8, where the squad earned the title for the third time.
Collins notched a 3-0 record in the event while playing in the No. 2 position. In his first match, he defeated Xavier's Michael Prebles, 3&2, before ousting Dayton's Henry May, 1-up. In the championship match, Collins advanced with a 2-up decision over Toledo's Jamie Tofte Nielsen.
Eastern Michigan won the tournament for the first time since the 2015-16 season, when it defeated the top-seeded Rockets, 4-2. The Eagles, seeded No. 2 based on the Golfstat rankings, played in the championship match for the sixth time since it began in 2012
All-time at the event, Head Coach Bruce Cunningham's crew has posted a 14-7-5 record in match play.
Eastern Michigan wastes no time getting back into action at the Wexford Plantation Intercollegiate, Feb. 21-22, in Hilton Head, S.C.
