Tina Koludrovic Named Forester Athlete of the Week
Team's leading hitter drove in four key runs in MWC Championship Tourney
  

Tina Koludrovic's 3rd and 4th home runs of the season were both game-winners. 
LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College softball player Tina Koludrovic (Darien, IL / Downers Grove South) was named Forester Athlete of the Week for leading her team to the Midwest Conference Championship last weekend (May 3-4). In three games the talented shortstop was 3-for-6 with two big home runs and four RBI. Her all-around game was on display as well as she perfectly executed two sacrifice bunts and committed just one error in 19 chances in the field.

First-year jitters apparently weren't a factor for Koludrovic as she stepped to the plate for her first at-bat in her first Midwest Conference Tournament. She promptly belted the first pitch she saw over the left-center field fence to knock in the game's only two runs in a win over St. Norbert College. 

Koludrovic again delivered the big blow in the first inning of the Foresters' second game, clearing the fence with a two-run shot that gave Lake Forest the lead for good in a 4-1 victory over Monmouth College. She closed out the tournament by singling in her only official at-bat and scoring one of the Forester runs in an 8-0 championship-game win over Monmouth.  

The Forester Athlete of the Week is chosen by the Athletic Department on Thursdays.
