LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Cornell sophomore
Torii Greiskalns set a school record for the most caused turnovers in a season in Saturday's 12-7 loss to Midwest Lacrosse Conference leader Lake Forest at Farwell Field.
The Rams (4-11 overall, 1-3 MLC) played tough for the final three quarters against the Foresters (10-4, 4-0 MLC), who are undefeated in league play.
A 6-1 first quarter jumped the Foresters out to an early lead that left the Rams unable to recover. Three fourth-quarter goals were not enough for the Rams as they tried to mount a second-half comeback.
Cornell fifth-year

Justin Howe in 2022.
