Contact: Mike Wajerski, SID 2005-06 Preview: Up and Coming Last year the Foresters tripled their scoring output from the previous seasons and cut their goals allowed nearly in half. The latter was due in large part to the play of Honorable Mention All-Northern Collegiate Hockey Association goaltender Sally Bevis, who posted the highest save percentage (.927) and lowest goals against average (2.31) in team history. The goaltenders also faced fewer shots on goal than in any other season, thanks in large part to an improved defensive corps, led by Andrea Richmond, Darby McGrath, and Amalia Vriend. At the offensive end, forwards Laura Wilson and Lil Caligiuri also earned Honorable Mention All-NCHA honors and tied for second on the team with 13 points. Fellow forward Erin McGrath led a balanced attack with 14 points and Courtney DeHoey and Katie Snowden also reached double figures with 12 and 10, respectively. All five players will return in 2005-06 and lead what Zaban expects to be an even more potent scoring attack. “It’s clear that the offense made great strides last year,” she begins, “However, we’ll need to repeat that type of improvement to get where we want to be next year.” “The nucleus of a great team already exists here at Lake Forest,” Zaban concludes. “We’re quickly gaining on the top teams in a very tough league and, with a few talented newcomers, we might just get there very soon.”
