APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University football stars Spencer Swick and Taylor Mandich have been chosen for the All-Midwest Conference football team.
Swick (Kimberly, Wis./Kimberly) and Mandich (Green Bay, Wis./Southwest) were both chosen for the North Division second team.

fall. He caught 43 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns.
Mandich grabbed a career-high eight passes in Lawrence’s win over Beloit College and posted a career-high 181 receiving yards in the Vikings’ victory over Maranatha Baptist University. Mandich also caught a career-best three touchdown passes and had a career-long 70-yard catch in the win over Maranatha Baptist.
Mandich finished fourth in the conference at 72.7 receiving yards per game and was seventh at 4.3 catches per contest.
Lawrence finished with a 2-8 overall record and finished 10th in the conference.
