the Foresters with 25 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and three
steals. Junior guard Emily Weber (Cincinnati, Ohio/Seven Hills
School) was the only other player on the team in double figures
with 13 points. She and senior guard Tracy Rainey (Roselle,
Ill./Lake Park) also had three steals and senior guard Kate Grunauer (Chicago, Ill./Marist) matched Nassin's three assists.

a 19-3 run to pull to within three (46-43) with 11:40 to play. They
would get no closer, however, as the Foresters scored 17 of the
