The Lake Forest College women's golf team was defeated 4-3 at North Central College on Sunday.

The difference in the match turned out to be the doubles competition, which the Cardinals swept to earn the first point of the match. The closest of the three contests was #3, where juniors Kate Feist and Anika Kinnear dropped a 7-6 (8-6) decision.

After being the last to finish in doubles, Feist was the quickest to victory in singles. She rolled 6-0, 6-1 at #5 to tie the contest at one. North Central regained the lead with a win at #2 but the score was tied once again after Forester freshman Anya Mookencherry prevailed 6-3, 6-1 at #3. The home team clinched the match with triumphs at #4 and #1 before Kinnear came out on top 2-6, 6-2, (12-10) at #6 to account for the final score.

Lake Forest fell to 1-1 on the young season while North Central improved to 4-0.

The Foresters will begin Midwest Conference play at home next Saturday when they host Illinois College at 9:00 a.m. and Monmouth College at 3:00 in the afternoon.
