The Forester men's soccer team recorded its school record-tying
fourth straight shutout, a 1-0 double-overtime victory at
Benedictine University, Wednesday night (September 23). Lake Forest
evened its record on the year at 4-4-0 while the Eagles fell to
3-5-0.
Forester junior goalkeeper Tom Biesiada (Grayslake, Ill./Grayslake
Central) has started each of the four shutouts and needed just one
save in 105:16 on Wednesday to keep his scoreless streak alive. He
has now held opponents without a goal for more than 392 minutes and
is 4-0-0 with a 0.22 goals against average and .938 save percentage
this season.
The only goal on Wednesday came in the second overtime when a
Benedictine defender tried to clear a ball being played by Lake
Forest sophomore Nelson Dorvlo (St. Louis, Mo./University City) and
inadvertently kicked the ball into his own goal. No individual
Forester received credit for the score.
Lake Forest's four consecutive shutouts ties the program record
originally set by the 1984 team and matched by the 1990 squad. The
Foresters have never posted five consecutive shutouts but will look
to accomplish that feat at home Sunday afternoon (September 27)
against Midwest Conference foe Lawrence University. The game will
begin at 3:30 p.m.
