The women’s college team of the week, presented by Soccer Management Company, is led by a star who fueled a historic top-five victory.

When No. 4 Stanford traveled to No. 2 Duke, no one had expected the Cardinal to suffer its first five-goal loss in 26 years. No one but Katie Shea Collins, who went berserk with one goal, two assists, plus an earned penalty kick in the jaw-dropping 5-0 win.
