This Week in the Forest features more playoff and championship action as track heads out to Grinnell for the Midwest Conference Meet on Friday and Saturday.
Women's hockey begins their bid for the Slaats Cup on Friday night at home against Concordia Wisconsin, and men's basketball plays in the first round of the Midwest Conference Tournament against Ripon College at St. Norbert's.
There are also some great tennis match ups for both the men's and women's squads; the men play at home on Thursday night at the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff and then travel up to Racine, Wisconsin for two games on Saturday. The women's tennis team travels out to Michigan to play their first match since the Fall semester against Kalamazoo College.
