The game winner was scored with 5:19 remaining in regulation by Forester junior Jordan Hartman. Freshman Jeremiah Erzen assisted on Hartman's second goal of the year.
Three of Lake Forest sophomore goaltender Ian Taylor's four saves came in the final 45 minutes as he improved to 2-0-0 on the year.
The Foresters and Raiders are now both 3-1-0 on the season.
Lake Forest's next game will be at Edgewood College Wednesday night at 7:00.
