When junior Lea Millio first saw the Owls’ roster, she was taken aback by its size.
Coming from Archbishop Prendergast High School in Drexel Hill, Millio was accustomed to a smaller team.
Although Temple’s roster was larger, Millio said she was impressed with the relationship the squad had with the coaches and how close the athletes were.
“I loved that when I was a freshman, the seniors and juniors all came up to me and talked to me too,” Millio said. “They really brought me right in.”
Now the role is reversed.
Millio met some of the Owls’ 11 new recruits last year during visits and is eager to make them feel a part of the squad.
