The Lake Forest College women's soccer team moved to 5-0-0 on the season by defeating visiting Ripon College 5-0 on Saturday. The Foresters are also 2-0-0 in Midwest Conference play. Sophomore Amanda Greco closed out the scoring and became the 11th different Forester with at least one goal on the year.
Lake Forest sophomore Lisa Sorensen factored in each of the game's first three goals for the fourth time this season. She netted the only score of the first half by kicking in a rebound at the 15:44 mark. Senior Emily Weber's header off a corner kick by senior Bianca Greene was saved by the Ripon goalie but the ball bounced to Sorensen, who gave the home team the lead.
Sorensen scored for the second time in the game and seventh time this season six minutes and three seconds into the second half. Fellow sophomore Becky Esrock sent the ball her way and, after evading a couple of Ripon defenders, Sorensen kicked it past the goalie for the score. The two players switched roles on the Foresters' next goal, Esrock's third of the year, exactly seven minutes later. It was Sorensen's team-high fifth assist of the season, breaking a tie with Esrock.
Senior Molly Shaw sent a free kick into the left corner of the goal at 64:11. Her second score of 2010 made the score 4-0. Greco put the ball in a similar spot with seven minutes to play to close out the scoring. She was assisted by freshman Lauren Morford and became the 11th Forester to score a goal in just five games this season.
Lake Forest will play a pair of road games next week, beginning with a non-conference contest Tuesday night at 7:00 at North Park University. The Foresters will resume MWC play next Saturday afternoon at 1:30 at Lawrence University.
