PHILADELPHIA- Temple head womens lacrosse coach Bonnie Rosen will be inducted into the Eastern Pennsylvania Lacrosse Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2009, announced today by the Philadelphia Lacrosse Association. Rosen, along with eight other honorees will be inducted on February 7, 2009 at a dinner to be held at the Desmond Hotel in the Great Valley Corporate Center located in Malvern, Pa.
A 1988 Harriton High School and a 1992 University of Virginia graduate, Rosen will be inducted as a truly great player. At UVA, she was the captain and MVP of the 1991 Women's NCAA Division I National Championship team. In international play, Rosen was one of the USA's most prominent players on the 1997, 2001, and 2005 World Cup Teams. Beyond her role as a player, she was the first women's lacrosse coach at the University of Connecticut serving from 1997 through the 2006 season. In August 2007, she was named Head Women's Lacrosse Coach at Temple University and is currently preparing for her third season at Temple.
Last season, Rosen led the Owls to the Atlantic 10 regular season championship and a record setting fifth Tournament crown. The 2008 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, Rosen guided Temple to a 13-5 overall record, a 6-1 mark in the conference and the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004. The 13 wins are the most since the 2003 season.
