Junior Alyssa Xanos's goal late in the second half was the game winner for Lake Forest women's soccer as they traveled to Monmouth College on Saturday. The game ended 1-0 in the Foresters favor.

The time stood at 82:44 when Xanos took a penalty kick for the Foresters and was able to put the ball passed the goalie and in the net for the only goal of the game.

Forester goalkeeper Maggie Kersting made six saves on the day, and the Foresters out-shot the Fighting Scots 15-10.

Lake Forest now hold a record of 6-4 and have a Conference record of 3-0; they've outscored their opponents 9-0 in their last three games. Monmouth's record moves to 1-8. This was their first Conference game.

Lake Forest will play again on Tuesday, October 5 at 4:30 p.m. on Mohr Field.
