Class:
1991

Temple’s all-time leader in career saves (754) and save percentage (.656), Jill Marple is arguably the top goalkeeper in the storied history of women’s lacrosse. A two-time All-American, she ranks fourth all-time in career goals against average (5.84 per game) and owns three of the program’s top five single-season save percentages.

The starting goalkeeper for three Temple Final Four teams, including the Owls’ perfect 19-0 NCAA Championship season in 1988, she owns the last shutout by a TU goalkeeper and one of only five against a Division I opponent, an 18-0 win over Lehigh in 1990. Temple posted a 50-16 record over her four-year career (1988-91).

Marple was also a Temple Field Hockey standout. The 1989 First Team all-Region selection ranks second all-time in program history in saves per game (11.41, 1987-90), fourth in saves (662) and 10th in goals against average (1.99). She also has three of the top 10 seasons for saves by a goalkeeper, ranking third (232) in 1990, fifth (223) in 1989 and eighth (207) in 1988. Her 24 saves against Old Dominion in 1990 are tied for the most by a Temple goalkeeper in a game.
