AMANDA TAYLOR SELECTED MWC CO-PLAYER OF THE WEEK

     Lake Forest College junior Amanda Taylor, a 5-10 outside hitter from Chico, CA (Pleasant Valley High School), has been selected as the Midwest Conference South Division Co-Player of the Week. She shares the honor with Jaime Jones of Monmouth (IL) College. Taylor helped Lake Forest improve to 13-9 overall and 3-0 in the MWC South Division with a 15-10, 15-11, 15-2 over Knox on Oct. 22, Lake Forest's only action of the week. In the three-game win, she had a hitting percentage of .360, 2 aces, 11 kills, 3 blocks, and 6 digs. Her 11 kills led the team. 
     The Foresters need a win this Saturday (Oct. 30) versus Illinois College to complete a perfect MWC regular season schedule and earn the South Division's top seed at the MWC Championship Tournament on November 5-6 at Ripon. Lake Forest took fifth place at last year's MWC Tournament and won the conference championship in 1997.
