The Lake Forest College men's basketball team won 66-59 at St.
Norbert College, the ninth-ranked team in the nation, on Saturday
(February 6). The Foresters have now won five games in a row and
nine of their last 10. The team raised its overall record to 11-9
and Midwest Conference mark to 9-4. The Green Knights fell to 18-2
overall and 12-1 in league play.
Lake Forest senior forward Patrick Hanley (Plainfield,
Ill./Plainfield) led all players in the game with a career-high 30
points. He shot 9-for-13 from the field, 6-for-9 from three-point
range, and 6-for-7 from the free throw line. He also pulled down
five rebounds and his two assists gave him 115 on the season,
surpassing the previous program record of 114 set by Danny Nikitas
in 1978-79.
Sophomore post player Travis Clark (Evanston, Ill./Evanston) and
freshman guad Jeff Beck (Algonquin, Ill./Dundee-Crown) also reached
double figures with 12 and 10 points, respectively. Clark also led
the Foresters with seven rebounds, senior guard Victor Campbell
(Milwaukee, Wis./Wisconsin Lutheran) dished out a team-high three
assists, and sophomore forward Nate Bateman (Lake Forest, Ill./Lake
Forest Academy) recorded a pair of steals.
Lake Forest shot just 38.9 percent from the field but held St.
Norbert to 37.3 percent. The visitors knocked down just seven of 23
three-point field goal attempts but connected on 17 of 21 free
throws. The Foresters were out-rebounded (37-34) for just the
fourth time this season but committed just nine turnovers, two more
than the home team.
The Foresters led by as many as five points and the Green Knights
by as many as three in a closely-contested first half. A
three-pointer by Hanley in the final minute of the period tied the
score at 21 and it remained there until halftime.
Hanley started the second half with back-to-back three-pointers,
kicking off a 12-2 Forester run. St. Norbert responded with a 16-5
run to take a one-point lead (39-38) with 9:20 to play. Hanley then
knocked down another three-pointer and added three free throws
after being fouled attempting another long-range jumper. After the
Green Knights tied the game at 48 with 4:16 remaining, Campbell
completed a traditional three-point play and Hanley connected again
from beyond the arc to put the Foresters ahead by six. St. Norbert
closed to within two points but got no closer as Clark, Hanley, and
Beck made seven of eight foul shots in the final 62 seconds of the
contest.
The Foresters will continue league play at Knox College next
Saturday (February 13) at 3:00 p.m. A live video webcasts of the
game will be available at
