The Forester women's tennis team split a pair of matches on
Saturday (September 19), falling 6-3 to visiting Cornell College in
the morning before blanking host Wisconsin Lutheran College 9-0 in
the afternoon. Lake Forest now owns a 5-2 record on the season.
Cornell raised its record to 3-6 while Wisconsin Lutheran fell to
3-7.
After dropping all three doubles matches to Cornell, three
Foresters came out on top in singles. Freshman Melika Celebic
(Visoko, Bosnia Herzegovina/United World College) lost the first
set 6-4 before winning set two 6-2 and the third-set tiebreak 10-4.
With both teams traveling elsewhere for afternoon contests, the
final two singles matches were shortened. Lake Forest junior Lauren Stroner (Johnsburg, Ill./Johnsburg) posted an 8-6 victory at #5 and
classmate Natalie Atroshenko (Wheeling, Ill./Buffalo Grove)
triumphed 8-2 at #6.

and freshman Katelin McRaith (Savage, Minn./Minnehaha Academy) won

was the first time since they came to Lake Forest that the Stroner
sisters had appeared together in the doubles lineup.
Sophomores Allison Hamel (Bend, Ore./Bend) and Sara Bennett (Sioux
City, Iowa/Sioux City North) did not lose a game in their victories
