September 23, 2009 Contact: Mike Wajerski, SID Foresters Win Close Match at Beloit College
The Foresters won two of the three doubles matches. Senior Molly Stapleton (St. Louis Park, Minn./Saint Louis Park) and junior Natalie Atroshenko (Wheeling, Ill./Buffalo Grove) trailed 6-1 before edging out their opponents 9-7 at #2. Junior Lauren Stroner (Johnsburg, Ill./Johnsburg) and sophomore Sara Bennett (Sioux City, Iowa/Sioux City North) prevailed by the same score at #3. Stapleton, Atroshenko, and sophomore Allison Hamel (Bend, Ore./Bend) won their singles matches. Hamel registered a 7-5, 6-3 victory at #4 and Atroshenko triumphed 6-3, 6-4 at #6. The contest ended when the Foresters earned their fifth team point on Stapleton's 6-0, 7-7 (7-5) victory at #3. Stroner fell 6-4 in the first set at #5 before winning by the same score in the second. The match went unfinished due to darkness and because the Lake Forest victory had already been clinched. The Foresters will begin Midwest Conference South Division play at defending conference champion Grinnell College on Saturday (September 26). Lake Forest is scheduled to take on the hosts at 9:30 a.m. and Illinois College at 12:30 p.m.
