LAKE FOREST, IL - The Forester women's soccer team swept the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week honors Tuesday (September 16). Sophomore forward Melissa Stevenson (Littleton, CO/ Dakota Ridge) was named MWC Offensive P.O.W. while junior sweeper Mei-Yun Gibson (Aurora, CO/Eaglecrest) earned Defensive P.O.W. honors.

Lake Forest defeated Dominican University 3-0 at home on Wednesday (September 10). Stevenson scored the game's first goal just 46 second into the contest and added an assist in the second half. Gibson and the rest of the Forester defense limited the Stars to just two shots in the entire 90 minutes while attempting 26 themselves.

The team opened Midwest Conference play on Saturday (September 13) with a 4-0 victory at Ripon College. Stevenson scored the first three goals for Lake Forest and Gibson had the fourth. It was the second career hat trick for Stevenson and the second goal of the season for Gibson. Ripon was held to  just one shot attempt.
