Gomes broke St. John’s freshman record with four goals on Thursday night
NEW YORK– After becoming the first-ever St. John's freshman and just the second player in program history to score four goals in a single-match, Guilherme Gomes was tabbed to the TopDrawer Soccer National Player of the Week on Tuesday.
Gomes, in just his third collegiate game became the first St. John's player since Fred Bischoff on Oct. 23, 1982 to score four goals in a single-game. The rookie tallied a hat trick in just a 6:14 span and broke the school freshman record with his fourth tally in the 76th minute as St. John's blew past New Hampshire, 5-0 on Thursday night. The midfielder now ranks third all-time in single-game goals (4) and points (8), trailing Bischoff's pair of five-goal outings in the 1980's.
The freshmen is believed to be the first St. John's player to win a national player of the week award since goaltender Lenny Wilson was tabbed United Soccer Coaches National Player of the Week on Oct. 30, 2018.
Gomes became the first BIG EAST player since Riggs Lennon of Creighton on Sept. 24, 2016 to score four goals or more in a regular season match. The Sao Paolo, Brazil native is currently tied for the highest single-game goal total in NCAA Division I this season and became the first rookie to net four or more goals since VMI's Justin Reischer on Oct. 2, 2018.
In addition to Thursday's onslaught of goals, the midfielder played 90 minutes in St. John's scoreless draw at No. 5 Wake Forest, aiding in the Johnnies third clean sheet four matches into the campaign.
The midfielder has started all four matches for the Johnnies and currently ranks second in NCAA Division I with four goals and ninth in points with eight. The rookie leads the BIG EAST in both categories.
Gomes and the Johnnies will face their second straight top-five opponent on Friday when they welcome No. 2 Marshall. To purchase tickets to catch all the action at Cox Family Field at Belson Stadium, click here.
