APPLETON, Wis. -- The Lawrence University men's hockey team struggled to find the back of the net Friday as Lake Forest College posted a 7-0 Northern Collegiate Hockey Association win at the Appleton Ice Center.
    Lake Forest led 2-0 after the opening period, and the Foresters started to pull away with two goals in the final five minutes of the second period. Lake Forest then scored three times in the third period with the help of two power-play goals to complete the scoring.
