News & Notes Contact: Scott Rucker, SID The victory over Barat was the ninth straight in the all-time series for Lake Forest. Their only loss came in 1978, the first year of volleyball at Lake Forest. Although the Foresters were riding an eight-match winning streak going into tonight's match, it was Coach Pier's first meeting with Barat and the school's first since 1992, when Lake Forest won 3-0. But the Foresters picked up right where they left off seven years ago with their 3-0 win on Wednesday evening behind 12 kills and a .588 hitting percentage by sophomore Stephanie Reinboldt (McHenry, IL/Marian Central Catholic High School) and 34 assists by junior Sarah Frantz (Lake Geneva, WI/Badger H.S.). Senior Jessie Griffin (Beecher, IL/Marian Catholic H.S.) added 8 kills and 5 aces, while sophomore Angela Lagerman (Menomonee Falls, WI/Menomonee Falls H.S.) had 6 blocks. Lake Forest will close out their regular season schedule with home matches versus Illinois Wesleyan on Friday (Oct. 29) and Illinois College on Saturday (Oct. 30). A win on Saturday would give the Foresters a perfect 4-0 mark within the MWC South Division and secure the top seed in the MWC Championship Tournament on November 5-6. Lake Forest won the 1997 title. |
