Vikings hockey coach Mike Szkodzinski now sits atop the LU hockey coaching ranks as the winningest coach in school history. In his 5th season, he has 52 wins to his credit and the hockey season is very young. The Vikings are off to a solid 3-1 start heading into a home-away weekend series with Lake Forest.
Congratulations to Coach Szkodzinski on this outstanding accomplishment and the LU hockey team on their early success thus far!
With the Fall athletics season almost complete, we felt it was important to congratulate all of our teams on a great season. Each team took positive steps in becoming conference contenders – and some even became CHAMPIONS!!!
Women’s Soccer – Won the MWC Conference Tournament Championship for the first time since 2001 … and are headed to the NCAA Tournament this coming Friday at Wheaton (Ill.)
Women’s Tennis – Won the MWC North Division and the team of Jenny Roesch and Beth Larson won the #1-doubles tournament
Men’s Soccer - Returned to the MWC Conference Championship Tournament and nearly defeated #1-seed Ripon (lost after 2OT’s and PK’s)
Men’s Cross Country – Finished 2nd overall at the MWC Conference Meet and won the St. Norbert Invitational
Women’s Cross Country – Finished 7th at the MWC Conference Meet and won the first annual Lawrence Invitational held at Reed Golf Course
Volleyball – Finished 4-5 in MWC play which is the second best record in school history … finished 13-16 overall
Football - Finished 2-8 but beat Beloit in the second-to-last game (Beloit had beaten St. Norbert and Monmouth prior to facing the Vikings) … and the offense generated 210 points compared to just 111 in 2009
Congratulations to all of our Fall Viking student-athletes!!! You have represented Viking Athletics and Lawrence University tremendously this season!!!
