Foresters Fall to 22nd Ranked Team in Nation
University of Chicago 6, Lake Forest 0
 
CHICAGO, IL - Since September 12th, the Lake Forest College women's soccer team has won every other game. Unfortunately for the Foresters on Wednesday (October 11th), it was the "other" game. Lake Forest was defeated at the University of Chicago, the 22nd ranked team in the nation, by a score of 6-0.

Five of the goals scored by the "Maroons" came in the first half as the Foresters were out-shot 16 to 1. The lone bright spot for the visitors was sophomore goalkeeper Amanda Potts (Verona, NJ/Verona). Seeing her first action of the season, Potts played the entire second half and saved eight of the nine shots on goal she faced. 

The good news for Lake Forest is that they have not lost two in a row all season and many of their injured players should be back to full strength by the weekend when they play two Midwest Conference games. On Saturday (October 14th), the 6-3-1 Foresters host Monmouth College for Parents' Day at 2:00 PM and Illinois College comes to Lake Forest on Sunday (October 15th) for an 11:00 AM match-up.
