The Lake Forest College women's soccer team had its season come
to an end Friday night (November 6) in the semifinals of the
Midwest Conference Tournament, hosted by league champion Carroll
University. The Foresters were the #3 seed in the four-team event
and fell 3-2 to second-seeded St. Norbert College. Lake Forest
finishes the year with a 12-7-0 overall record while the Green
Knights advance to the tourney final at 11-8-0.
The Foresters took the early lead in the game at 16:56 on freshman
Becky
Esrock's (St. Louis, Mo./Whitfield School) school record 20th
goal of the season. She surpassed the mark of 19 set by Sarah Bartz
in 1996 and matched by Jessica Wiehrdt the following year. St.
Norbert, however, tied the game just seven minutes later.
Lake Forest regained the advantage at 26:01 when Esrock assisted on
fellow freshman Lisa
Sorensen's (Muskegon, Mich./Western Michigan Christian) 14th
goal of 2009. The score remained 2-1 until the Green Knights tied
it again with 2:05 remaining in the first half.
Neither team was able to score again until, with just 6:49
remaining in the second half, St. Norbert kicked in what turned out
to be the game-winner.
In addition to setting a single-season program record for goals,
Esrock's 47 points on the year rank second in team history.
Sorensen matched the sixth-highest goals total and both players
easily surpassed the highest scoring output by a Forester freshman.
Junior Bianca
Greene (Santa Monica, Calif./Santa Monica) led the squad in
assists with 15, the second-highest total in program history and
just two off the school record.
Friday's contest was the final career game for Forester seniors Emily
Sadler (Everett, Wash./Cascade Senior), Jocelyn
Maneval (Fairfax, Va./James W. Robinson), and Monica
Thomas (Los Gatos, Calif./Los Gatos). They combined for 73
career points on 28 goals and 17 assists and helped lead the team
to a 27-9-0 conference record over the last four years.
