Fourteen Foresters saw action in the game, although none for more than 20 minutes. All 14 scored at least two points, led by senior guard Eileen Walsh (Hickory Hills, Ill./Amos Alonzo Stagg) and junior guard Beth Lucas (Arlington Heights, Ill./John Hersey) with nine apiece. Junior forward Shaina Sullivan (Winfield, Ill./West Chicago) scored eight points and tied for game-high honors with seven rebounds. Four players tied for the Lake Forest lead with three assists each and Walsh recorded a team-high three steals.
The Foresters shot 49.2 percent from the floor and 4-for-15 from three-point range. M.S.O.E. shot just 32.1 percent from the field and made one of 11 shots from beyond the arc. Both teams were 11-for-14 from the free throw line. Lake Forest out-rebounded the Raiders 47-25 but committed 24 turnovers while forcing 21.
Lake Forest trailed 6-3 before rattling off 14 straight points and 21 of the games next 23. The home team extended the lead to 24 points (47-23) by halftime.
The Foresters increased the advantage to 30 points early in the second half and 32 late in the game.
Lake Forest will resume Midwest Conference play this weekend (January 19-20). The Foresters will play at league-leading Carroll College Friday evening at 5:30 and at Ripon College at 2:00 the next afternoon.
