NEENAH, Wisconsin – Lake Forest College continues to make its mark nationally, as the Foresters are ranked 24th in the latest American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) poll for the second consecutive week. Lake Forest is also 19th in this week’s NCAA Division III Power Index (NPI). 

Lake Forest earned 66.518 points in this week’s NPI, moving up from its previous position of 23rd.  

The Foresters are led offensively by junior quarterback Ethan Springer, who played a key role in Lake Forest’s 57-3 victory over Luther last weekend. Springer made program history in the win, throwing for 408 yards – the second-highest single-game passing total in Lake Forest history. With four more touchdown receptions and 249 yards on Saturday, wide receiver Dom Esposito continues to lead the country in touchdown catches (16) and receiving yards (1,086).  

Lake Forest will have a bye this weekend before returning to action on Saturday, October 31, at Beloit.
