LAKE FOREST, IL - The Forester women's hockey team's Northern Collegiate Hockey Association season came to an end Saturday (February 9th) with a 2-1 loss at home to UW-River Falls. The Falcons had also gotten the best of Lake Forest 4-0 on Friday (February 8th) night.

In Friday's game, River Falls scored once in each of the first two periods and twice in the third to defeat the Foresters.

On Saturday, the Falcons scored first with 11:09 to play in the opening period. Lake Forest answered less than two minutes later with freshman forward Robyn Shea's (St. John's, Newfoundland) sixth goal of the year. Fellow freshman forward Michelle Pickles (Crown Point, IN) picked up her fourth assist of the season on Shea's score.

After nearly 43 minutes of scoreless hockey, River Falls scored the game-winner to earn the weekend series sweep.
