Lake Forest 4 - Glenbard West 2
Lake Forest looked to get back into a scoring groove against a tough Glenbard West team on a windy Thursday night in Glen Ellyn.  Junior Morgan Dever finally put the ball in the cage on a penalty corner to take the lead.  The Scouts anticipated going into the half being up by a goal, but the relentless GBW offense had other ideas.  They were able to convert on a penalty corner with 90 seconds left in the half.  The Scouts scored the go-ahead goal with 5:30 in the game (Margot Mayer goal, Jessica Staton assist) and seemed assured to walk away winners.  With 1 second left on the clock GBW was awarded a penalty corner and was able to tie the game.  In dwindling daylight, the two teams would have to settle the game with one overtime period.  After several scrambles in front of the goal cage, Kelsey Adams was able to dribble the ball over the end line for the winning goal.  Three minutes remained and Glenbard surged again, but lost the ball in the midfield. Adams held it just long enough to see a wide-open Katie Sullivan flying down the field.  She touched the ball into the circle and ripped it past the GBW goalie’s right shoulder into the back corner of the cage for the insurance goal.  The Scouts move to 16-2-2 and will take on Elgin Academy on Monday and New Trier on Tuesday, both at home.
