The Lake Forest College women's soccer team fell 4-3 to visiting Concordia University Wisconsin on Thursday. Sophomore Becky Esrock scored three goals in the contest for her fourth career hat trick.

Concordia Wisconsin took the early lead just just two minutes and 25 seconds into the game. The Falcons also added a goal less than four minutes later and, despite being out-shot 10-6 in the opening period, still led 2-0 at halftime.

The visitors extended their lead to three goals at the 60-minute mark.

The Foresters finally got on the scoreboard at 64:14. Esrock's first goal of the game was assisted by sophomore Olivia Davis.

Concordia Wisconsin, however, regained its three-goal advantage at the 67:17 mark.

Esrock struck again after passes from junior Isabel Brown and sophomore Lisa Sorensen with 8:29 to play in the contest. She completed the hat trick with her team-high ninth goal of the season with just 9.7 ticks left on the clock. Senior Emily Weber earned the assist.

The Foresters attempted 24 shots and put 10 on goal. Eight of the Falcons' 12 shots were on target.

Sorensen and Esrock are now tied for the team lead with 22 points apiece.

Lake Forest fell to 6-2 overall and will put their 3-0-0 Midwest Conference record on the line at St. Norbert College on Saturday. The game will begin at 1:00 p.m.
