Boyle tallied 149 assists, 5 aces and 40 digs in the three wins over Illinois Wesleyan University (3-1), Maranatha Baptist Bible College (3-0) and Lakeland College (3-0) and the loss to tournament champion Benedictine University (1-3). In the Foresters' 3-0 win at Judson College on Thursday (September 20th), Boyle had 38 assists and led the team in digs with 12. On Saturday (September 22nd), Lake Forest lost to UW-Eau Claire (0-3) and beat host Lawrence University (3-1). On the day, Boyle recorded 93 assists and added 21 digs and a couple of aces. Her totals for the seven matches included 280 assists (11.67 per game), 8 aces and 73 digs. The Midwest Conference Player of the Week is selected by the league's
sports information directors.
