Box Score Monmouth staged a furious fourth quarter but was nipped in the final seconds of a 74-72 loss to Lake Forest Saturday at Glennie Gym.
Â
Trailing 56-46 at the opening of the final frame the Fighting Scots roared back with a 12-4 run in the first three minutes to cut the margin to 60-58 when Carley Turnbull pumped in seven of her team-high 23 points. The Scots stayed within two possessions the rest of the way, knotting the game at 69-0all on Turnbull's bucket in the lane with 1:07 to play. The Foresters then regained the lead on a Molly Schoenlein bucket and held off the Scots sinking three of four free throws in the final 10 seconds.
Â
Turnbull, who scored 22 of her 23 points in the second half, was joined in double figures by Becca Gallis and Yvonne Ornelas who scored 13 each.
