LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College men's soccer players Caleb Chase (Hanover, NH/Vermont Academy) and Phil Schwab (St. Louis, MO/Christian Brothers College HS) were named Midwest Conference Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, for their contributions to the Foresters' victories over Monmouth College and Illinois College at home last weekend (October 19-20).

Chase, a junior forward, scored two goals and added an assist in the 3-2 win over Monmouth. The assist came on the game's first goal at the 16:30 mark and his goals helped Lake Forest build a three-goal lead with less than 30 minutes to play in the game. On Sunday, Chase, assisted on the Foresters' second score as they shut out Illinois College 3-0.

Schwab, a junior defender, helped hold Monmouth to just ten shots, more than eight below their season average. Illinois College managed just four shots against the stingy Schwab-led Lake Forest defense.

Midwest Conference Players of the Week are selected by the league's sports information directors.
