- Bethany McGraw and Erin Lessing's playing days have been cut short
by season ending injuries. Both McGraw and Lessing earned starting
spots for the Foresters but are unable to continue this year’s
campaign.
Everyone had high hopes for Bethany McGraw this season. McGraw
entered her senior year as HU's all-time leading scorer with 52
goals. She came into preseason camp eager to add to that number.
“McGraw came in this year in the best shape I had seen her in. You
can tell she had been pushing herself all summer and was ready to
leave her mark on the 2009-10 season,” said Coach Burgher.
On September 5th against Trine University, McGraw tore her ACL
ending her college career. “It hurts when you lose a player like
Bethany McGraw. The obvious reason being the loss of 25-30 goals
from one person, you really miss that," commented Bergher.
"But what people don't see outside of games is the type of leader
McGraw is. She really pushes this team, you would very rarely find a
day where McGraw wasn't pushing herself and her teammates.” McGraw
ends her college career with 57 goals.
Although Lessing was in her first season as a Forester she was a
defensive presence as stopper. “Erin will be missed in the middle of
the field. She’s a very skilled player and a great leader for the
girls,” said Coach Burgher. Lessing ended her season against
Marygrove College on September 19th. Lessing had 1 goal in the
2009-2010 season.
