Foresters Score Season-High 93 Points in Victory at Illinois College 
Green and Klusman each score 25
  

Guards Jenni Klusman (above) and Kandyce Green each scored 25 points on Wednesday.

Prior to Wednesday, the highest scoring game for a Forester this season was 18 points. Against Illinois College, however, a pair of guards, senior Jenni Klusman (New Berlin, WI/New Berlin West) and freshman Kandyce Green (Chicago Heights, IL/Marian Catholic), each poured in 25. Klusman, whose previous career-high was 17, shot 6-of-9 from the floor, 4-of-6 from three-point range, and 9-of-11 from the free throw line. Green, who was responsible for the 18-point game earlier in the year, shot 8-of-12 from the field, 2-of-4 from beyond the three-point arc, and 7-of-10 from the line.

Junior forward Katie McCants (Menasha, WI/Menasha) and freshman forward Shannon Clerkin (Barneveld, WI/Barneveld) also reached double figures in scoring with 16 and 10 points, respectively. McCants shot 5-of-9 from the floor, a perfect 6-of-6 from the line, and added five rebounds and a pair of assists. Clerkin, who leads the team with 6.8 rebounds per game, pulled down a game-high 11 boards and shot 4-of-7 from the field.

The Foresters held a 40-34 edge in rebounding for the game. Both teams shot nearly 50% from the floor, with Lake Forest knocking down seven three-pointers to the Lady Blues' one. Although the teams had nearly identical free throw percentages (Lake Forest 68.1%, Illinois College 67.7%), the Foresters made 11 more shots from the charity stripe.

Lake Forest (15-5, 10-4 MWC) is in third place in the conference, a game behind Lawrence University (11-8, 10-3), a game ahead of St. Norbert College (12-9, 9-5) and a game-and-a-half ahead of Ripon College (12-8, 8-5). Following the 16-game regular season, four teams will advance to the MWC Championship Tournament, which will likely be hosted by first-place Carroll College (17-4, 13-1). The Foresters are the two-time defending Conference Champions and need one more win in their final two games to clinch a spot in this year's tourney.

The next game for Lake Forest will be at home against Knox College (8-11, 4-9) Saturday (February 9th) afternoon at 2:00 PM. After hosting Trinity International University on Wednesday (February 13th) night, the Foresters will conclude their regular season with another home game against Grinnell College (0-17, 0-13) next Saturday (February 16th).
