Rodrigo Gomes
Men's Soccer
Rodrigo Gomes scored two goals to led the Lawrence University men's soccer team to a 1-0-1 record in Midwest Conference play this past week. The freshman from Buenos Aires, Argentina, scored the opening goal in the 20th minute in Lawrence's 2-1 victory over Ripon College, snapping the Vikings' seven-game losing streak against the Red Hawks. He then scored the game-tying goal in Lawrence's 2-2 tie with Carroll College. Gomes fired a 25-yard rocket past the Carroll goalkeeper in the 71st minute to knot the score at 2-2. Gomes leads the team with nine goals and 20 points.
Courtney Miller
Cross Country
Courtney Miller turned in another stellar performance and led the Lawrence University women's cross country team to a second-place finish at the Wisconsin Private College Championships Saturday at Carthage College. The senior from Reston, Va., ran to fourth place overall and covered the 5,000-meter course in 19 minutes, 9 seconds. Paced by her finish, the Lawrence women had a team score of 80. Carthage won the title with 62 points.
