GALESBURG, Ill. ­— The Knox College athletics department today announced its Male and Female Athletes of the Week for events that occurred between Oct. 13-19, and the soccer teams swept the awards with the honors going to junior Tomás Ramos of the men's team and sophomore Darby Wallig of the women's squad.

Ramos, also selected as the Midwest Conference Offensive Performer of the Week, lit up Lawrence University for two goals and two assists in a 4-0 win over Vikings on Saturday. The forward scored each of the first two goals — both coming in the second half after a scoreless opening stanza — then added his two helpers on corner kicks to provide six points, tied for the most by any player in a conference match this season. The Portugal native doubled his career goal output and is tied for the team lead with four assists on the season.

The women's soccer team earned a scoreless draw with third-place Lawrence on Saturday, thanks in large part to the efforts of Wallig in goal. The native of Wendell, North Carolina, stonewalled six Viking shots over the course of the contest to earn her fifth shutout (second in the league) of the season after missing the previous two matches. Her first two saves came in the first half, and then she added four more when the Vikings turned up the pressure in the second half. This is the second time Wallig has earned this honor this fall and third time in her career.

The Knox Athletes of the Week will be announced every Tuesday afternoon throughout the athletic calendar.
