Lake Forest Blanks Knox 5-0 in Midwest Conference Opener

The Forester women's soccer team won 5-0 at Knox College on Saturday. Sophomore forward Lisa Sorensen had a goal and two assists and classmate Bri Schleibinger recorded her sixth career shutout. Lake Forest is now 2-0-0 overall this season and 1-0-0 in Midwest Conference play.

After assisting on the first goal and scoring the next two in Wednesday's 7-0 victory over Concordia University Chicago, Sorensen scored the first goal and assisted on the next two scores on Saturday. The game's opening goal at 8:56 was set up by junior Erica May and senior Bianca Greene and was the only score of the first half.

May then scored for the first time this season just 55 seconds into the second half and Greene netted her second goal of the year at 59:41. Sorensen assisted on both scores and now has nine points on three goals and as many assists in just two games this season. Freshman Anya Moran earned her first career point by assisting sophomore Becky Esrock's first of the year at 66:22. Sophomore Olivia Davis added her first career goal at 70:30 with senior Emily Weber earning the assist.

Sophomore Bri Schleibinger needed to make just one save to record her sixth career shutout. She has yet to allow a goal in 135 minutes this season.

Lake Forest will play three times next week, beginning with a non-conference game at Alverno College Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. The Foresters will also host Milwaukee School of Engineering at 4:30 on Thursday and will resume league play at home next Saturday (1:00) afternoon against Ripon College.
