The Forester men's basketball team hosted and defeated Ripon
College 76-70 Friday night (January 22). The victory raised Lake
Forest's overall record to 6-8 and Midwest Conference mark to 4-3.
The Red Hawks fell to 9-4 overall and 5-2 in league play.
Forester sophomore post player Travis Clark (Evanston,
Ill./Evanston) led all players in the game with 28 points and 13
rebounds. He shot 11-for-19 from the field, made each of his six
free throws, and added three assists and a pair of steals in his
eighth double-double of the season. Senior guard Victor Campbell
(Milwaukee, Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) was the only other Lake Forest
player in double figures with 10 points. Freshman guard Jeff Beck
(Algonquin, Ill./Dundee-Crown) scored five points and grabbed a
career-high 11 rebounds. Senior forward Patrick Hanley (Plainfield,
Ill./Plainfield) also scored five points and dished out a team-high
seven assists.
Lake Forest shot 47.4 percent from the field and knocked down 17 of
23 free throws in the contest. The Foresters out-rebounded the
visitors 37-34 but committed 17 turnovers while forcing just a
dozen Red Hawk miscues.
Ripon led by as many as 13 points in the first half but a 12-2
Forester run late in the period cut the deficit to just two points
and the margin was five (44-39) at halftime.
The Foresters fell behind by seven points with 12:47 to play in the
game but responded with a 12-2 run that gave them a 59-56 lead with
nine minutes left. The score was tied three times down the stretch,
the last at 70 with 1:43 on the clock. Clark put the home team
ahead for good on a traditional three-point play with 42 seconds
remaining and his rebound and free throws with seven seconds to
play helped put the game away.
The Foresters will host Beloit College at 5:00 tomorrow evening. A
live video webcast, a live
radio broadcast, and
live
stats will be
available on the Lake Forest College Athletics Web site during the
game.
