Chicago
Four Foresters reached double-figures in kills in the match, led by Jenny Anderson's (Sebastopol, CA/El Molino) 17. The junior co-captain, who was named Midwest Conference South Division Player of the Week on Tuesday (September 17), also tied for the team-lead with 16 digs. Junior Jenna Harper (St. Louis, MO/Clayton) tallied 14 kills with just one error in 29 attempts, good for a .448 hitting percentage. She added a team-high three blocks, raising her total for the season to 29. Junior co-captain Stephanie Metzger (Chicago, IL/Lane Tech) shared the team-lead in digs with 16 and added season-highs in both kills (12) and aces (6). The fourth Forester in double-figures in the kill column was senior Kelly McNiff (Maryland Heights, MO/Pattonville) with 10. After winning games one and two convincingly (30-15, 30-20), Lake Forest found itself in danger of losing the match by dropping games three and four (30-27, 30-23). The Foresters led for most of game five and eventually finished off the Maroons 15-12 for the victory. Lake Forest will travel to Benedictine University on Friday (September 20) to take on both North Central College (6:00 p.m.) and Benedictine University (8:00 p.m.). Next week the Foresters will host Dominican University on Thursday (September 26) at 7:00 p.m. and will travel to Beloit College for next weekend's (September 28-29) Midwest Conference Crossover Tournament.
