9.2.03 | Field Hockey

PHILADELPHIA - Temple University redshirt freshman Monica Jiao was named the first Atlantic 10 Rookie of the Week in field hockey for the 2003 season. Jiao was instrumental in leading the Owls to two wins on the opening weekend of the season.

A forward from Hummelstown, Pa., Jiao netted the game-winning goal over Maine on Labor Day in a 2-1 come-from-behind win. The Lower Dauphin High product's tally came with just 49 seconds to play in regulation.

Jiao also played a big part in Temple's season opening win, tallying four shots and creating two offensive corners which led to both goals in a 2-1 win over Davidson on Saturday, August 30.

The Owls next take on Providence College on Saturday, September 6 (11:00 a.m.) in the opening round of the Temple Invitational Tournament. Michigan takes on North Carolina (1:30 p.m.) in the second game with the tournament concluding on Sunday, September 7.
