SOBIESKI SELECTED FORESTER ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
     Shannon Sobieski, a junior women's tennis player from Fox Point, WI (Nicolet High School), has been named the Forester Athlete of the Week by the Lake Forest College Athletic Department. From her No. 2 singles and No. 2 doubles positions, Sobieski recorded wins over Midwest Conference opponents Lawrence and Ripon last weekend. For the week she totaled a 2-1 singles and 2-1 doubles record. 
     Versus Lawrence last Friday, she recorded a 7-5, 6-2 singles victory and teamed with Jamie Irons for an 8-0 doubles win as Lake Forest defeated Lawrence 7-2. The following afternoon during a 6-3 win at Ripon, Sobieski pulled out a come-from-behind 6-7 (3-7), 7-5, 6-2 singles victory and then cruised to an 8-0 doubles win with Irons. During a 1-8 loss to College of Lake County on Tuesday, Sobieski dropped both her singles and doubles matches. 
     For the season, Sobieski has a 9-4 singles record, including 5-1 in MWC play, and a 9-4 doubles mark (3-3 in the MWC). The Foresters are 10-3 overall and have clinched the MWC South Division's top seed at the MWC Team Championship on October 15th in Rock Island, IL.
