Three players accomplished something Wednesday they had not achieved in their collegiate careers for the Owls, who are ranked No. 17 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America coaches poll.
Freshman midfielder Belal Mohamed, junior midfielder Dan White and senior midfielder Josh Tagland scored their first goals in a Temple (7-0-1) uniform in the team’s 4-1 victory against La Salle at Amber Sports Complex.
“You feel very happy for them because they work so hard,” coach David MacWilliams said. “When they hit the back of the net, it’s really great to see that.”
Mohamed opened the games scoring in the 19th minute on an assist from junior midfielder Justin Stoddart and 16 minutes later, Stoddart—off an assist from junior midfielder Kevin Klett—put the Owls up 2-0.
