The Rams victory was the first over Northwestern\u2019s squad since 2003. Assistant Coach George Carr, NCU \u201907 graduate, was a freshman on the 20-man roster at that time.<\/p>\n<p>NCU junior math major Joe Kornbaum scored the first NCU goal, thanks to a corner kick by sophomore intercultural education major Isaac Smith. At the end of the first half, the Rams led the Eagles 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after halftime the Eagles tallied a goal of their own, tying the game. Freshman business administration student Josue Boutouli scored the game winning goal, his third goal of the season. A strong, defensive effort in the final minutes helped the Rams lock down the 2-1 lead. Sophomore goalkeeper Gabe Hartwig was credited the win, tallying 12 saves for the game.<\/p>\n<p>The athletic department has been making strides forward under the direction of Athletic Director Greg Johnson, who joined the team in the fall of 2015. Johnson was a former Sports Information Director at the University of Northwestern, a position he held since 2007.
