Ryleigh Nelson set up seven of the team's tallies on Saturday and scored five times herself, matching the points and assists records she set on March 9.

Ali Graham, sophomore
Isabel Bersie, and juniors
Krissy Kuwahara and

Graham led the Foresters with three caused turnovers and tied Doctor for the team lead with five ground balls and Meyer with six draw controls.
Sophomore goalie
Cecilia Adams reached double figures in saves with 11 and earned the victory.
The Belles actually scored the game's first goal but Lake Forest led 4-3 after the opening period. Nelson scored four goals and assisted on four others in the second quarter and the visitors were ahead 14-6 at the half. The lead increased to nine at 18-9 by the end of the third and the Foresters rattled off six unanswered scores in the fourth.
The victory was the Foresters' program record-tying sixth in a row and they are now 6-1 this season. Saint Mary's fell to 1-6.
