With a 14-9 victory at Cornell College Saturday afternoon, the Forester women's lacrosse team clinched at least a share of the 2025 Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference title with one game still to play in the regular season.
Lake Forest senior
Abby Meyer filled up the stat sheet, finishing with a career-high seven points on four goals and three assists and adding four ground balls and a team-high-tying four caused turnovers and three draw controls. She is now just three ground balls away from becoming the fourth player in the program's four-year history with 100 in her career.
Forester senior
Jenna Doctor and junior

Senior
Savannah Frauhiger picked up a game-high eight ground balls and matched Meyer and junior
Claire Aimone with four caused turnovers. Junior
Shannon Gibbons was tied with Meyer in draw controls with three.
After Meyer scored the first two goals of the game less than a minute apart, Doctor made the score 3-0 and broke her own school record with her 78th goal of the year. Three straight scores for the Rams, however, tied the score two minutes into the second period. Sharp was responsible for three of the visitors' five tallies in the second and they led 9-4 at halftime.
Gibbons and Meyer sandwiched a Cornell goal in the third and Lake Forest was ahead 11-5 with 15 minutes to play. Doctor's 80th of the year and a score from junior
Daulath Khan made it a seven-goal game and, after three in a row from the home team trimmed the margin to four, a man-up goal from Kuwahara closed out the scoring.
Lake Forest is now 11-4 overall and 8-0 in league play this spring. Cornell fell to 7-7 overall and 5-3 in the NACC.
The Foresters can win the conference title outright with a victory in the regular season finale at Illinois Institute of Technology Wednesday at 5:00 p.m.
