Contact: Scott Rucker, SID The Foresters cruised to victories over Knox (7-2) and Illinois College (9-0) over the weekend, and battled for a 5-4 advantage over Grinnell on Saturday. Junior Shannon Sobieski's (Fox Point, WI/Nicolet High School) three-set (2-6, 6-2, 6-1) come-from-behind victory at No. 2 singles was a critical match, according to Conger, "Shannon showed great resilience by coming back after losing the first set." Sobieski's match was the only match to go three sets. One week into the season, Conger is pleased with the progress of his young team; "We are truly a 'team'. Our biggest strength is definitely our depth. We have six or seven women who can go out and get points for us." The Foresters regular singles' line-up is composed of one senior, two juniors, two sophomores, and a freshman. |
