LAKE FOREST, IL - The Forester soccer team hosted Carthage College Saturday (September 28), and nearly upset the Central Region's 10th-ranked team, falling 1-0. The non-conference loss drops the team's overall record to 3-5-0 on the season. The Foresters are 1-2-0 in Midwest Conference games.

It was LaFin's second straight game with a double-figure save total after tallying 16 on Tuesday (September 24) at the University of Chicago.

Carthage scored the game's only goal at the 84:30 mark when Amy Baer found the back of the net off a pass from Jamie Wismer. Carthage had been averaging 3.25 goals per game going into Saturday's match.

The Foresters' next game will be on Thursday (October 3) when they travel to Aurora University for a 4:00 p.m. match. Lake Forest's next action in the Midwest Conference will be on Saturday, October 13, when it travels to Grinnell College (11:00 a.m.).
