The Lake Forest College men's soccer team hosted and defeated
Finlandia University 13-2 on Sunday and set a program record for
goals in a game. Freshman Grady
McDonald contributed to four of the scores with a goal and
three assists.
The previous team record of 12 goals in a contest was set during
the 1975 season. On Sunday the Foresters netted five in the first
half and eight, including six by non-starters, in the second.
Freshmen Mahir
Mameledzija and Nicholas
Kliminski each scored twice in the game. Mameledzija leads the
squad with nine goals and 24 points on the season and Kliminski now
has three scores to his credit. Juniors Stephen Egan
and Raul
Ardelean scored for the first time this year and juniors Anthony
Valsamis and Selorm Agbodza and sophomore Miles Kerr each
netted his first career goal. Other goals were turned in by
freshman Jordan
Hartman (fifth of 2010), senior Jacob Heaps
(second), McDonald (second), and junior Nelson
Dorvlo (third).
McDonald was the first Forester with three assists in a game
since current assistant coach Attila Schmidt accomplished the feat
early in the 2005 season. Senior Will Press had
a pair of assists and four other Foresters registered one helper
apiece.
Junior goalkeeper Melvin
Flores held the Lions scoreless for the game's first 45 minutes
to earn the victory.
Lake Forest is now 9-4-0 this season and its five-game winning
streak is the program's longest since beginning the 2006 season
5-0-0.
The Foresters will play their final non-conference game of the
regular season next Tuesday at Millikin University. The contest
will begin at 2:00 p.m.
