Sophomore Aimee Fadden (pictured) won at #1 singles 6-1, 6-3 and teamed with senior Nonie Carson in first doubles for an 8-1 victory. Carson also won at #3 singles in straight sets by scores of 6-0, 6-0 over Ripon's Katie Majerowski. She was the only Forester to win in straight sets in singles play.

The Foresters (4-9) host Knox College on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. at the Tennis Courts which are located behind the Sports and Recreation Center. It is Senior Day for Carson and Lake Forest must win the match in order to secure a spot in the upcoming four-team Midwest Conference Tournament.
"It's all about how we play in doubles...our doubles drives us," coach Mike Raymond said. "That's what we are going to have to do on Saturday, we are going to have to play well at doubles."
