The Lake Forest College men's basketball team started the
2009-10 season with a 77-62 victory over Lakeland College at home
Sunday afternoon (November 15). It was also the season opener for
the Muskies.
Four Foresters scored at least a dozen points, led by sophomore
post player Travis Clark (Evanston, Ill./Evanston) with 16. He shot
8-for-12 from the field and added four rebounds and a pair of
steals. Senior guard Victor Campbell (Milwaukee, Wis./Wisconsin
Lutheran) and sophomore forward Nate Bateman (Lake Forest,
Ill./Lake Forest Academy) were next on the team with 13 points
apiece. They combined to make seven of 14 attempts from three-point
range and Bateman finished with four rebounds and four assists.
Sophomore post player Dayton Young (Muskego, Wis./Catholic
Memorial) shot 6-for-7 from the floor and scored 12 points.
Sophomore forward Drew Grennell (Tinley Park, Ill./Providence
Catholic) led all players in the contest with a career-high nine
rebounds and senior forward Patrick Hanley (Plainfield,
Ill./Plainfield) dished out a game-high five assists.
Lake Forest shot 54.2 percent from the field while holding Lakeland
to 38.2 percent. The Foresters also knocked down eight of 22
three-pointers but just five of 12 free throws. The Muskies shot
8-for-23 from beyond the arc and 12-for-20 from the line. Lake
Forest out-rebounded their guests 38-30 but committed 20 turnovers
while forcing 16.
An 11-point run early in the game gace the Foresters a lead (13-6)
they would never relinquish. Lakeland trimmed the margin to three
points at 14-11 and again at 26-23 but got no closer. The home team
scored the final five points of the opening period and led 38-29 at
halftime.
Lake Forest also scored the first 14 points of the second half to
take a 52-29 advantage. The lead reached as many as 25 points
(77-52) before the Muskies scored the game's final 10 points.
Next weekend (November 21-22) the Foresters will travel to Grand
Rapids, Michigan, for the Calvin College Tip-Off Tournament. Lake
Forest will take on Davenport University (Mich.) in Friday's 5:30
p.m. (EST) semifinal. The winner will play in the Saturday's 3:00
p.m. (EST) championship game while the loser will play in the
consolation game at 1:00 (EST).
