Lake Forest College women's hockey player Emily Wybo was named Forester Athlete of the Week on Thursday after scoring the goal that sent her team to the NCAA Tournament in Saturday's Northern Collegiate Hockey Association Slaats Cup Championship Game.
Wybo, a junior forward, took a pass from sophomore forward Holly Lesperance and scored just over four minutes into overtime to give the Foresters a 3-2 victory over visiting St. Norbert College (video of goal below). She also assisted on the first goal of the game with 9.3 seconds remaining in the opening period.
The score was Wybo's seventh of the season and her 22 points rank fifth on the team.
Lake Forest, which also defeated Adrian College 2-1 on Friday, will now make its first appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament and travel to the University of Wisconsin-River Falls for a quarterfinal game on Saturday.
Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thursdays.
