The Lake Forest College men's soccer team played to a scoreless
tie with visiting Lawrence University on Sunday (September 27). The
Foresters are now 4-4-1 overall this season and 1-1-1 in Midwest
Conference play. The Vikings are 2-4-3 overall and 0-1-2 in the
league.
It was Lake Forest's fifth consecutive shutout, breaking the school
record this year's squad shared with the 1984 and 1990 teams.
Forester opponents have been held scoreless since September 12, a
span of 497 minutes and 19 seconds of game time.
Forester junior goalkeeper Tom Biesiada (Grayslake, Ill./Grayslake
Central) made three saves in the contest and extended his personal
scoreless streak to more than 500 minutes. He is now 4-0-1 with a
0.17 goals against average and .947 save percentage this
season.
Lake Forest held a slight 14-12 edge in shots on Sunday, although
just one of the home team's attempts was on goal. Lawrence put four
shots on target, three saved by Biesiada and another stopped just
before crossing the line by sophomore Chris Haught-Thompson
(Westchester, Ohio/Lakota East) early in the game.
The Foresters will travel to Waukesha, Wisconsin, Wednesday night
(September 30) to face defending conference champion Carroll
University at 7:30 p.m.
