Monmouth, Ill. - The Lake Forest College volleyball team traveled to Monmouth College Thursday (October 19) and fell to the Fighting Scots 32-30, 28-30, 28-30, 30-21, 15-10. The Foresters’ overall record on the year is now 13-12 and the team is 5-2 in Midwest Conference play. Monmouth raised its overall record to 16-11 and its league mark to 4-4.

Junior Nicole Baich (Westchester, Ill./Nazareth Academy) led the visitors with 21 kills, three aces, and seven blocks, including four solos. It was her third consecutive match with at least 20 kills and she is now just seven total blocks and two solos shy of the single-season school records in both categories.
