Dominic Gomez: MCLA Hall of Fame Class 2020

Dominic Gomez enters the MCLA Hall of Fame as an outstanding player.

As a standout goalie for Sonoma State during the Seawolves’ (then Cossacks) salad days, Gomez backboned some of the top teams in MCLA history. His play during Sonoma’s run to the 2002 national championship is ensconced in the association’s lore.

Gomez was a three-time All-American, earning first team accolades once. He was a three-time all-WCLL selection and helped Sonoma advance to at least the quarterfinals of nationals every single season he was in Rohnert Park.

Gomez becomes the second goalie to enter the MCLA Hall of Fame, following in the footsteps of Cal’s Rob Warner.

“This is a great honor. I am humbled to be put in with my fellow inductees. Especially my fellow Sonoma State alumni Dallas Hartley,” said Gomez.

“I was very fortunate to be have played on some great teams at Sonoma State,” he continued. “I had amazing coaches, teammates and support during my entire career. The defensemen that I played with probably deserve this honor more than I do. They are the ones that made my job much easier. It's a true honor to represent Sonoma State University, my teammates, coaches and family.”

Gomez and the MCLA Hall of Fame Class of 2020 will be inducted on May 8 at the Hotel RL in Salt Lake City. They will also be honored on Saturday, May 9 at Judge Memorial High School during the two finals of the 2020 MCLA National Championships presented by New Balance.
