COACHES COMMENT: "Happy to come away with a win today, but I don't think it was our best effort, and that's on me. I didn't prepare us well enough for Lake Forest, and we eded up on our heels early on," said Calvin head women's lacrosse coach Blake Boehm. "By the second quarter, we settled in and recommitted to our principles, but it never seemed as though we were playing with the rhythm we're used to. We are looking forard to tomorrow's match with Carthage."

NEXT UP: Calvin will travel to Carthage College on Saturday for a game slated to start at 2 p.m. (EST) with Carthage bringing a 3-1 record into Saturday's matchup.
