Foresters upset the Green Knights 1 - 0 at Lake Forest. SNC definitely the better team but, in my opinion, did not play with the same amount of heart that LFC did.

Obviously, I am an LFC parent and perhaps a little biased, however, this is a different LFC team than the one that laid an egg last week at Ripon. Either way, today's victory was a big one for the LFC program.

i'm not too sure what happened to snc, but it always happens at some point in the midwest conference. I'm not trying to take anything away from snc, but i've played with some of their better players in the summer and they definitely have what it takes to get it done. Ben, you need to take this game as the flint to your fire and ride that spark all the way through the remainder of the season just as carroll did last year with the wisco lutheran loss. I'm not saying I agree or disagree with your ranking last week of 21, but obviousley people think you have to get it done. Sometimes this can be the best thing for a good team to level their heads a bit. Don't take anything game for granite, and when you play par teams from now on use this as motivation to blow teams out. I don't like giving advice to a arch nemisis of mine, but since I'm done what do i care

How does Ripon's keeper now having a broken nose have anything to do with the result of the LFC - Ripon game?!?! That's one of the most oddly placed pieces of information I have ever seen. To me, it sort of seems like you're insinuating that if he had broken his nose sooner or something, Lake Forest would have beat Ripon. I'm sorry, but I do not see why you randomly put that in what you wrote.

Anyways, congrats to Lake Forest for beating Norberts. Definitely caught a lot of people by surprise, looks like it will be a very interesting battle to make the mwc tournament this year.

D, thanks for the advice. We are trying to work some things out but all it really comes down to is finishing. We just need to get back on track after 2 poor weekends.

Lfcdad - yes I am #9 this year. Thank you for the compliment and to answer your question it was a better game for me but I did miss a free kick and a volley that after watching the game tape I feel I really should have finished. Hopefully we can get great oppertunities against beliot and find the net early.
