Loss to Beloit Dashes Lake Forest's Hopes of MWC Tourney Berth

The Forester men's soccer team was defeated 3-2 by visiting Beloit College on Sunday and fell to 10-6-0 overall this season. The team is also 3-4 in Midwest Conference play and no longer in contention for a spot in the four-team MWC Tournament. Freshman Alexi Spiratos netted his first career goal and became the 19th different Forester to score this season.

Spiratos' goal came in the 38th minute. It was set up by classmate Nicholas Kliminski, whose shot was saved by the Beloit goalie but rebounded in by Spiratos, giving the home team a 1-0 lead.

The Buccaneers tied the score on a penalty kick goal with 2:40 to play in the opening period, which ended with the teams tied 1-1.

The Foresters regained the lead on freshman Mahir Mameledzija's team-high 12th goal of the season at the 53:24 mark. Junior Anthony Valsamis sent the ball forward to classmate Stephen Egan, who crossed it to Mameledzija for the score.

Beloit pulled even again at 68:25 and then took the lead with 15:26 remaining on the clock.

Lake Forest will close out the season with a pair of home games next weekend. The Foresters will host Illinois College for Parents Day on Saturday and Monmouth College the following afternoon for Senior Day. Both games will begin at 2:30 p.m.
