Softball player Brie Gauthier was named Forester Athlete of the Week on Thursday after collecting five base hits in her team's doubleheader split with Elmhurst University last Friday.
Gauthier was one of four Foresters with a pair of hits in the opener, a 9-4 loss. She singled in the first and third innings and added a stolen base in the contest.
Lake Forest rolled to a 13-8 five-inning victory in game two. Gauthier had a base hit in three consecutive innings, stole second and scored in the third, and came home on a double steal in the fourth.
Gauthier now has four multi-hit games in six contests this season and eight in 19 career appearances. The three-hit performance in game two on Friday was her first as a Forester. She is hitting .556 on the year.
Forester Athletes of the Week are selected by the Athletic Department on Thursdays.
