LAFIN SHINES IN FORESTERS TIE WITH NORTH CENTRAL
     Rachel LaFin (Glen Ellyn, IL/Glenbard West High School) and Katherine Alho dualed for 120 minutes on Thursday afternoon without the ball touching the net once. Lake Forest's LaFin, a freshman starting just her third collegiate game, recorded 18 saves (two shy of the school record) while North Central's Alho had 8 stops in the non-conference affair. LaFin got the starting nod just minutes prior to the start of the contest after projected started Brandi Monroe (Punta Gorda, FL/Lockport Township H.S., IL) offered to be used as a reserve forward due to a rash of Forester injuries and illnesses left the team short-handed. 
     North Central had 27 shots compared to 14 for Lake Forest, 12 of which came from junior Kim Sponsel (San Diego, CA/Mira Mesa H.S.) and sophomore Stacy Gunstream (Fort Collins, CO/Rocky Mountain H.S.). Lake Forest had many opportunities, primarily in the first half, while North Central returned the favor in the second half when they kept possession of the ball for the majority of the second 45 minutes. 
     Lake Forest, now 1-1-1 in home openers under Head Coach T.R. Bell, will take their 1-1-1 overall record back to Midwest Conference action this weekend, when the host Knox on Saturday and St. Norbert on Sunday. The Foresters are currently 1-1 in the MWC.
