In the first match of the day against Benedictine, the away team took the opening set 25-13. In the second set Lake Forest broke a 7-7 tie and never trailed again in the 25-17 victory. The Foresters came out firing in set three, took a 5-0 lead early on, and won it 25-21. Tied at 24 in set four, Lake Forest rattled of the final two points to take the set and claim their first win of the season.

Senior Lilly Robinson recorded a career high 36 assists in the victory. Fellow senior Ireland Van Stone chipped in with a double-double of 10 kills and 11 digs. Junior Meghan Winston had a match-high 17 kills while freshman Rio Dirksen added 13.

The home team was up 22-20 in the second but once again Elmhurst fought back and eventually took the set 25-22. Elmhurst closed out the match by winning the third set 25-17. Dirksen and Forester junior Simisola Osinaike had match high four blocks apiece. Dirksen also had 13 kills.

The Foresters (1-6) take the court again next Thursday when they travel to River Forest, Illinois, to take on the Concordia University Chicago Cougars.
