PHILADELPHIA - Fans are encouraged to wear white to support Temple lacrosse as the Owls (10-2, 3-1) host Villanova (3-8, 1-3) on Saturday, April 8 at 1 p.m. Free t-shirts will be given away to students while supplies last. The team is also celebrating Friends of Jaclyn Day, and will have 11-year-old Lily Adkins as an honorary starter.
Seven years ago, in April of 2010, Temple lacrosse adopted its second "sister" through the Friends of Jaclyn (FOJ) Foundation. When Lily Adkins first met the team, she was a shy four-year-old and only three years removed from the discovery and treatment of an ependymoma brain tumor when she was 14 months old.
