LAKE FOREST, IL - The Forester women's hockey team completed a weekend sweep of UW-Superior Saturday (February 1) with a 4-3 victory. Lake Forest had shut out the Yellowjackets 4-0 on Friday (January 31) night. The pair of home wins gave the team a 12-5-3 overall record and a 5-5-2 mark in Northern Collegiate Hockey Association play. Superior fell to 8-14-1 overall at 4-10-0 in the league.

The Foresters' Theresa Taylor (Spartanburg, SC/National Sports Academy) needed just 13 saves to notch her third shutout of the season on Friday. The junior stopped six shots on goal in the first period, five in the second, and two in the third.

Freshman Lil Caligiuri (Wheaton, IL/Culver Academy) started the scoring at the 7:58 mark of the first period and recorded one of the assists on fellow freshman Emily Blegen's (Elk River, MN/Fridley) score at the 1:06 mark of the second. Blegen was then credited with one of the assists on senior Robyn Slater's (Granite City, IL/Granite City Senior) ninth goal of the year, which came with just eight seconds remaining in the period. Sophomore Lindsey Wild (Inver Grove Heights, MN/Rosemount) scored at the 8:55 mark of the third to account for the game's final goal.

Lake Forest had 26 shots on goal, twice as many as Superior. On Saturday, the Foresters nearly doubled the Yellowjackets' shots again, attempting 34 to the visitors' 18.

Blegen scored her team-high 15th goal of the season at the 5:34 mark of Saturday's first period. She also leads the team with 22 points. After Superior's Jody Faye scored her team's first goal of the weekend at 3:48 in the second, sophomore Nichole Greco (Franklin Park, IL/Chicago Young Americans) regained the lead for the Foresters at 7:28 with her fourth off the year. Eight minutes later (15:24), Caligiuri scored her seventh of the season to increase the margin to two. The visitors' Tanya Regner closed out the second period scoring at the 16:05 mark, trimming the Lake Forest lead to a single goal. Wild scored her sixth of 2002-03 five minutes into the third and Regner got her second of the game at 16:10.

Taylor tallied just 15 saves but raised her record on the season to 10-5-3. She has allowed just 2.16 goals per 60 minutes this year and has a .928 save percentage.

The Foresters will be on the road next weekend (February 7-8) at UW-River Falls (13-4-4, 8-1-3). The teams will face off at 7:05 p.m. on Friday and 2:05 p.m. on Saturday. The Falcons defeated Lake Forest by a single goal (2-1) on November 22 and tied the Foresters 2-2 the following afternoon.
