Box Score

PHILADELPHIA – Bridget Settles scored all three goals for the Temple field hockey team (4-9) as the Owls defeated Penn (3-7) on Sunday afternoon. The victory snaps the Owls' six-game losing streak as they defeated their cross-town foe in the final tune-up before A-10 play begins.

Settles struck early in the contest when she received a pass from Mandi Ruth and was able to slide it into the back corner of the net to give the Owls an early 1-0 lead. It was the third time in the last four games that the Cherry and White had taken the early lead in the game.

Settles' second goal came with less than three minutes remaining in the first half when she picked up a rebound off of a shot by Charise Young and directed the ball into the back of the cage. The final tally would come three minutes into the second half as Settles took a pass from Young and was able to once again beat the Quakers defense.

Sarah Dalrymple followed up her busy day on Friday with her second career shutout. Dalrymple made three saves on the day.

The Owls outshot the Quakers 17-6 and also led in penalty corners 7-3. Young led all players with six shots, two of which were on goal.

Settles now leads the team with seven goals, five in the two most recent contests. Young leads the squad in assists with five.

Up next for the Cherry and White is Saint Joseph's on Friday, Oct. 9 at 3:00 p.m. The game, which is an away contest for the Owls, will be played at Drexel's Buckley Field. To date the Owls have played four games on Buckley Field and have gone 2-2.
