Foresters Stage another Comeback before Falling at Hamline

Foresters Stage another Comeback before Falling at Hamline

The first goal of the season for senior defenseman Julia Unterseher tied the score in the third period but Lake Forest eventually fell 3-2 at Hamline University on Saturday.

After erasing three one-goal deficits and eventually defeating Bethel University 4-3 on Friday, the Foresters fell behind by a pair of scores on Saturday. The Pipers took the early lead less than two minutes into the contest and added another goal at the 3:08 mark of the second.

Despite being out-shot 35-10 in the game's first 40 minutes, Lake Forest trailed by just one after senior forward Lexi Morgan's power play goal at 13:48 in the second. Junior forward Makenzie Kamm earned an assist on Morgan's team-high-tying fourth score of the season and the 40th of her career.

Unterseher struck at the 8:25 mark of the third with assists credited to freshman forward Kelly McCullough and senior forward Maddie Davis. It was the first career point for McCullough.

Hamline regained the lead with 4:07 on the clock and hung on for the victory.

Forester senior goaltender Jacque Rogers, who moved into fourth place in program history in career saves on Friday, made a season-high 42 against the Pipers and raised her save percentage on the season to .918.

The loss dropped Lake Forest's record in 2019-20 to 5-6-1 while Hamline improved to 9-3-1.

The Foresters will be back on the road next weekend, taking on the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Friday night at 7:00 and at 2:00 Saturday afternoon.
