PHILADELPHIA - Each year under Temple head coach Marybeth Freeman, the Owls have been honored as a Zag Field Hockey/NFHCA Division I National Academic Team, and 2017-18 is no exception.

Temple is one of 74 programs to earn the honor, recognizing those programs that earned a team GPA of 3.0 or higher during the Fall Semester of the 2017-18 academic year.

The Owls were well above that mark with an impressive 3.53 cumulative GPA in the fall.

"We place a lot of emphasis on having a strong academic presence within our hockey program," said Temple head coach Marybeth Freeman.
