This Week In Goucher Landmark Conference History (December 14-31)
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 fall and winter sports. We look at several great moments on the hardwood by the men's and women's basketball teams with both swimming and indoor track and field not having more action until the New Year. This will be our final This Week In Goucher Landmark Conference History for 2020, but we will continue this feature in 2021. Here are some of the great moments from December 14-31:
