PHILADELPHIA- Allison Frengs scored a game-high five goals, including three in the second half, to lead the Temple women's lacrosse team to its third straight win, a 14-5 victory over the LaSalle Explorers on Wednesday afternoon. Temple improves to 4-2 overall and 1-0 in Atlantic 10 action, while LaSalle falls to 5-4 overall and 0-1 in the Conference.
Frengs began the scoring early in the contest, netting the game's first goal off of a free position attempt with 26:46 remaining. Kate Henwood caught a feed from Tiffany Grossi for the LaSalle equalizer ten minutes later at 15:52. The Explorers' Catie Borneman scored back-to-back goals within seconds of one another to put LaSalle up 3-1 at 11:46. The Owls called a timeout to regroup and came out with an offensive attack that the Explorers seemed to have no answer for. Temple went on to score 11 straight goals, taking a 14-3 lead before LaSalle was able to get a stop. Frengs earned Temple's second tally at 9:42 to make it 3-2 LaSalle and Corey Leader made it a tie ball game with an unassisted goal at 8:33. Sophomore Kelly Yemm gave TU the lead at 7:26 after cradling down from the midfield and firing a shot past LaSalle keeper Brittany Friedrick. Frengs converted her second free position attempt at 6:30 and Casey Cech added a tally, assisted by Whitney Richards at 5:52. Leader was fouled in the arc and scored the Owls' seventh goal at 2:44. Patty Glavin added one more goal before the half was through, giving Temple a 8-3 lead at the break.
Johna Capaldo and Glavin teamed to score a goal three minutes into the second half, allowing the TU scoring barrage to continue. Berkley Summerlin fed a cutting Leader for the Owls' 10th goal just one minute later. Glavin scored one more at 22:42 and Frengs earned back to back tallies at 20:09 and 17:15 to give Temple a 13-3 lead and make it a running clock contest. Leader and Summerlin scored TU's final goal at 15:43. The Explorers finally ended Temple's rout with two goals but it was too late as Temple took the game 14-3.
Megan McLouth earned six saves in goal, while Friedrick split time with Chantelle McCormick for seven Explorer saves.
Temple travels to Princeton for its next match-up, a 7:30 p.m. game against the Tigers on April 6.
