Arguably the greatest Field Hockey coach in Temple history, Gwen Wentz Alexander (1980-88) led the Owls to a 1981 AIAW National Championship Runner-Up finish, ending the year ranked third in the nation. Still the winningest coach in Temple field hockey history, she posted 115 wins during her nine years at the helm, and is one of only three head coaches to post over 100 wins. She led the Owls to three-straight NCAA Tournament appearances and two AIAW Championship Tournament appearances while also setting the program record for highest ranking during the 1981 season, at No. 2 in two USFHCA polls. An amazing athlete as well, she competed internationally as a goalkeeper during her tenure at Temple, earning spot on 1980 US Olympic Team (US boycotted) and 1984 Olympic Team that finished third, the highest Olympic finish by US Field Hockey.
