The Lake Forest College volleyball team won sets three and four after dropping the first two but were edged out 16-14 in the fifth against Rockford University at home Tuesday night.

Junior Ireland Van Stone finished the night with 16 kills, the most by a Forester so far this season, and senior Rebekkah De Kok turned in the second double-double of her career with a dozen kills and 14 digs. Sophomore Meghan Winston narrowly missed her first double-double, pounding out 9 kills and tallying a match-high 16 digs.

Winston also shared setting duties with junior Lilly Robinson with the latter recording 22 assists and the former 17. Robinson also served up a pair of aces in the contest and now has 1,001 assists and 100 aces in her career.

Senior libero Juli Barrientos matched De Kok's 14 digs while Robinson and senior Lauren Volk also reached double figures with 12 and 10, respectively.

The Regents won the first four points of the night and led by as many as eight in the opening set. The Foresters battled back and eventually tied the score at 21 before Rockford rattled off four straight points to take the set.

Set two was tied at 14 when the visitors started a five-point run. They continued to pull away and took the set 21-19.

The Foresters won the first three points of set three and were ahead by three again at 9-6 when another five-point run from the Regents put them on top. Lake Forest responded well, however, and took five of the next six points. Rockford closed to within one three times, the last at 17-16, before an 8-2 run by the home team closed it out. A kill by Van Stone finished it off.

Lake Forest jumped out to a 6-0 lead in set four and eventually held a nine-point lead at 18-9. The margin eventually shrunk to three at 21-18 before a kill and an ace from Dek Kok and a pair of kills by Van Stone tied the match at two sets apiece.

Van Stone's final kill of the contest made the score 9-7 in favor of the Foresters in set five. A four-point Rockford run turned that two-point lead into a deficit of the same size but Lake Forest came back once again and fought off two match point opportunities to tie the score at 14. The Regents, however, won the next two points and the match.

The Foresters fell to 1-5 while Rockford improved to 2-0 this season.

Lake Forest will travel to Benedictine University on Saturday to take on the Eagles at 10:00 a.m. and Elmhurst University at noon.
