This Week In Goucher Landmark Conference History (November 9-15)
We have had a lot of great moments since Goucher joined the Landmark Conference in 2007. While the college athletics world is still on pause due to COVID-19, we will look back at events from our teams from the past since we joined the conference. Each week we will focus on the days that occur from Monday to Sunday for the 2020 calendar year with events from our winter sports every Thursday. Our fall sports have concluded with the exception some outstanding performances by our cross country runners at the NCAA Mid-East Regional. In addition, action on the hardwood is starting this week along with more swimming performances.
We have moved onto spring sports for All-Decade votes and this week we are voting on the Women's Lacrosse All-Decade Team. One more day to vote for the Women's Lacrosse All-Decade Team. Click HERE to vote!
