The Lake Forest College women's tennis team defeated North Park University 7-0 Thursday night at the Racquet Club of Lake Bluff.

While the Foresters won at eight of the nine positions in the lineup, the most notable of the victories was a 6-2, 7-5 triumph for fifth-year Margaret Bugnacki at #3 singles. It was her 78th career singles win, breaking a tie with 2018 graduate Allison Watts for first place in program history.

Bugnacki also teamed up with senior Sara Lopez to double up the Vikings' #2 tandem 6-3 and the doubles point was clinched when sophomore Sofia Strupovets and freshman Lilli Dockal finished off their 6-4 victory atop the lineup.

Dockal defeated her counterpart at #2 singles 6-4, 6-3 and Strupovets took the first set 6-4 and the second 6-1 at #1. The match was clinched after both sets at #4 went to Lopez by the score of 6-4. After falling at #3 doubles, sophomores Kate Feist and Anika Kinnear rebounded with victories at #5 and #6 singles, respectively. Kinnear rolled 6-1, 6-2 and Feist closed out the contest by edging out her opponent 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, (10-5).

Lake Forest improved to 15-4 on the season while North Park fell to 10-8.
