Box Score The Lake Forest women's basketball team never could find its rhythm Tuesday night, losing to Ripon on the road, 81-40.
 
Senior Rebecca Christodoulou led the Foresters (2-12, 1-5 MWC) in scoring with 13 points.
 
Fellow senior Peyton Davidson made the most of her opportunities and was a bright spot Tuesday in a season-high 21 minutes off the bench. Davidson recorded a personal season-best 11 points on an efficient 5-of-10 shooting from the floor and added three rebounds and a steal.
 
The Foresters could not get their offense into gear, shooting just 27.8 percent from the field. In addition, Lake Forest struggled to stretch the floor from the three-point line, making only 4-of-21 three-point attempts for the game.
 
A sluggish start doomed the Foresters, as Ripon ripped off an 11-0 run to start the game, eventually ending the first quarter with a 26-6 lead. The Red Hawks pressed their advantage in the second quarter, as the lead ballooned to 48-12 at halftime.  
 
Lake Forest will continue its conference slate this weekend when the Foresters travel to Illinois College on Saturday at 1 p.m.
