LAKE FOREST, IL - Lake Forest College women’s basketball player Devon Liebl (Milwaukee, WI/Milwaukee Pius XI) was named Forester Athlete of the Week Thursday (February 3) for her contributions to a pair of Forester victories on the road last weekend (January 28-29).

Just hours after matching her career high for scoring, she shattered it with 27 points in a 68-64 triumph at Ripon College Saturday afternoon. She shot 10-for-13 from the floor in the game and knocked down four of six attempts from three-point range. She also added six rebounds, five assists, and five steals.

Liebl leads the 2004-05 Foresters in rebounds and steals and is second in points scored. She also ranks second on the team in assists, blocked shots, and three-point shooting.
