Lake Forest Opens Conference Play with a Victory at Concordia Wisconsin
Senior Laura Wilson (Corunna, Ont./Sarnia Sting) started off the scoring with her first goal of the season at 14:42 n the opening period. She was assisted by classmate Courtney DeHoey (Chatham, Ont./Bluewater Sr. Hawks). Concordia tied the score on a power play goal at 18:06 and the score was still 1-1 at the first intermission. Senior Kerry Gotowka (West Simsbury, Conn./Westminster School) converted a 5-on-3 power play opportunity to put the Foresters ahead at the 2:52 mark of the second period. She was assisted by fellow seniors Allison Rushing (Seattle, Wash./Seattle Admirals) and Jen Clouthier (Aurora, Ill./Chicago Mission). After the Falcons tied the score again at 6:46, Lake Forest took the lead for good on a goal by DeHoey at the 8:28 mark. Sophomore Jamie Sauer (Eagle River, Wis./Northland Pines H.S.) earned the assist. Freshman Lynn Switaj (Avon Lake, Ohio/Ohio Flames) then scored back-to-back goals at 9:12 and 12:49. The first score, the official game winner, was unassisted and the second, her third of the season, was assisted by freshman Sam Herron (Clinton Township, Mich./Victory Honda). The home team scored a power play goal at 14:57 and trailed 5-3 after two periods. Rushing assisted DeHoey on a power play goal at 2:05 in the third and Gotowka on another 5-on-3 score at the 5:51 mark. It was Gotowka’s first career two-goal game. DeHoey now has three scores on the year and is just one point shy of the program’s career record of 78 set by Robyn Slater from 2000-03. Sophomore goaltender Ryann McCarthy (Lombard, Ill./Team Illinois) made just seven saves in the victory, raising her record on the year to 1-1-0. Lake Forest will continue league play at home against UW-River Falls this weekend (November 17-18). The teams will face off at 7:00 Saturday night and 2:00 Sunday afternoon.
