Mahwah Midfielder Headed to Notre Dame
A strong performance at the Radnor (Pa.) Quakerfest with the Long Island Sting helped Mahwah (N.J.) senior midfielder Bob Collins gain interest from many colleges.

After a post-grad year in 2013 at a school not yet determined, Collins will attend Notre Dame after also considering Yale, Princeton and Bucknell.

Collins played at Mahwah and with the Sting with Mark Glicini, who is now PGing at Deerfield Academy (Mass.), before heading to Yale.
