Lexi Maclauchlin (2-2) made 11 saves to help anchor the Tornado defensive charge.

The Foresters were able to answer back with five-straight goals in the first quarter to take a 5-1 advantage. Lake Forest extended its lead out to a 9-3 margin before the Tornados scored back-to-back goals as Collins and Moore each found the back of the net. The Foresters would take a 12-7 lead heading into the halftime intermission.
Lake Forest use strong defensive play in the second half to aid its way to a comfortable win. The Foresters held Brevard to two goals in the third quarter and just one in the fourth period en route to the win.
Collins scored a pair of goals, while Denaga also found the nylon, but Averett was able to pull away yesterday with the 24-10 triumph.
