The Lake Forest College women's hockey team, ranked 10th in the nation, won 3-2 in overtime at Adrian College Saturday night (January 16). The Foresters are now 11-1-2 overall this season and 5-0-2 in Northern Collegiate Hockey Association play. The Bulldogs fell to 6-9-1 overall and 4-3-0 in the league.

Adrian scored the first goal of the contest on the power play with just four seconds remaining in the opening period. The Bulldogs doubled their advantage on another power play score at the 5:32 mark of the second period and led 2-0 going into the final 20 minutes of regulation.

Senior Courtney Bean (Peoria, Ill./Team Illinois) pulled the Foresters to within a goal on a power play score 30 seconds into the third period. She was assisted by sophomore Molly Wallner (Chatham, Ill./Chicago Young Americans) and juniro Melissa Kravich (Wilmette, Ill./Gustavus Adolphus College). Bean converted another power play opportunity to tie the score at the 10:15 mark. Her fourth goal of the season was assisted by sophomore Kim Herring (Dover, N.H./Groton School).

Bean finished off her third career three-point game by assisting Herring on the game winner two minutes and 52 seconds into overtime. It was Herring's 21st goal of the season and her second in overtime periods. She matched the team record with her 31st point of 2009-10 and is just one shy of the program's single-season mark for goals.
