Coach Seamus O’Connor wanted nothing more than to see his senior goalkeeper take the field one last time.
Shauni Kerkhoff, who was ruled out for the season after breaking her tibia in a loss to Penn Sept. 4, recently decided she would not apply for a medical redshirt that would allow her to return to the field next season.
Once Kerkhoff made her decision, O’Connor said he wanted to put her on the field for Temple’s senior day, an American Athletic Conference match with last-place Houston Sunday, which the Owls (12-6-1, 4-4-1 American Athletic Conferenec) won 2-1, setting a new program record for single-season wins.
