Box Score All that's left for the Monmouth women's basketball team after an 84-66 win over Lake Forest is to find out if they're traveling to Iowa or Wisconsin next for the Midwest Conference Championships.
 
The Scots wrapped up the No. 3 seed at the tournament last week, but Cornell and St. Norbert remained deadlocked going into today's action to host the tournament.
