Lake Forest is 10-0 for First Time in School History 
Rout at Monmouth give Foresters best start ever
  

Katie McCants is leading the team in points and rebounds.

Senior forward Katie McCants (Menasha, WI/Menasha) led Lake Forest with 14 points. She has scored at least a dozen points in each of the team's last seven games. The team co-captain leads the 2002-03 squad with 12.3 points per game, 6.2 rebounds per contest, and shooting percentages of .575 from the field and .808 from the free throw line.

Sophomore guards Kristy Freeman (Palatine, IL/Palatine) and Kandyce Green (Chicago, IL/Marian Catholic) also scored in double figures with 13 and 11 points, respectively. Freeman shot 3-for-3 from three-point range and Green recorded a game-high four steals. Another sophomore, forward Shannon Clerkin (Barneveld, WI/Barneveld), scored nine points and pulled down a game-high eight rebounds.

The Foresters shot 48.4% from the floor (30/62) in the game while Monmouth struggled and was successful on just 24.1% (13/54) of its field goal attempts. The visitors also held a 49-37 edge in rebounding. The teams combined for 63 turnovers, with 33 coming from Monmouth.

Lake Forest scored the game's first seven points and built a 14-2 lead in the first four minutes. The margin was a dozen again with 12 minutes left in the half when the visitors began a 9-2 run that put them ahead by 19. The Foresters extended the lead to 25 points (51-26) by halftime.

The difference remained at least 24 points and reached as many as 38 during the second half.

Lake Forest will continue its MWC schedule next weekend (January 17-18) with a game at Carroll College on Friday (5:30 p.m.) and at Lawrence University on Saturday (2:00 p.m.). Both squads fell victim to the Foresters at last year's four-team conference championship tournament.
