Morgan Henrichs Named MWC Defensive Performer of the Week

Lake Forest College women's soccer player Morgan Henrichs was named Midwest Conference Defensive Performer of the Week on Monday for her performance in a pair of victories over the weekend.

Henrichs and the rest of the Forester defense limited Illinois College to just four shots in Saturday's 7-0 victory at home and Ripon College managed just eight attempts in Lake Forest's 5-1 triumph on the road on Sunday. The victories improved the team's overall record of 9-5-3 and league mark to 4-2-2, bringing the Foresters closer to earning a spot in the four-team MWC Tournament.

The junior defender was also involved at the other end of the field, heading in a corner kick on Saturday for her second goal of the season. She now has 25 points on 11 goals and three assists in her career.

MWC Performers of the Week are selected by the league office.
