PHILADELPHIA – Twice is nice for Temple Field Hockey as the Owls posted their second straight 3-0 shutout this Labor Day weekend. This time the victim was city-rival La Salle and it marked the first time Temple opened with consecutive shutouts since the 2008 campaign. New coach Susan Ciufo's squad improved to 2-0, matching the number of wins the entire 2018 season.
Recapping the Game
> Unlike Friday's 3-0 win over Merrimack, the Owls got on the scoreboard quickly to start this contest. Temple converted its third corner in the first six minutes as sophomore Nienke Oerlemans pushed the ball to fellow sophomore Kerrie Lorenz, who laid it off for junior Dani Batze, who blasted it home at the 5:32 mark.
