Senior Jerrold Rosema headed in a pass from sophomore Jordan Hartman at 30:49 and the home team led 2-0 at halftime. It was Rosema's third goal of the season.

Lake Forest out-shot the Blueboys 11-1 in the first half and 10-3 in the second.

Mameledzija netted his second goal of the game at 56:33. The unassisted score was also his team-high eighth tally of the season.

Sophomore Charlie Brey closed out the scoring at 72:24 with his first goal of the year. He was assisted by Jordan Hartman.

The Foresters will host a non-conference game against Millikin University Wednesday at 4:30 p.m.
