Box Score (PDF)
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Breaking a halftime tie with four straight goals to open the second half, the Temple lacrosse team won 11-7 at George Washington (2-9, 0-2) to improve to 3-5 overall and 1-1 in the Atlantic 10. Sophomore Missy Schweitzer led the Owls with three goals and an assist in the victory.
Senior goalkeeper Jess Colucci tied her season-high with 11 saves for Temple. The Owls will return home for their next two contests, starting with a 4:00 p.m. game against #19 Princeton on Wednesday, March 31.
Things didn't look good early on for Temple after the Owls fell in a 4-0 hole, thanks mostly to the Colonials' Taylor Donahue who scored three times for GW in the first 13 minutes.
The Owls then began to find their stride offensively, scoring three in a row with Schweitzer, Shelby Christopher and Charlotte Swavola all putting TU on the board. After another score from GW, Schweitzer would go on to record two more tallies to even the score at 5-5 with just over five minutes left in the first half.
Each team got one more goal over the next two minutes, first a score by GW and then Stephanie Markunas for Temple, bringing the score to a 6-6 tie that stood for the remainder of the half.
The Owls then exploded for four early goals in the second half by Christopher, Chelsea Rosiek, Markunas and Lindsey Colferai. Markunas tallied assists on Christopher and Colferai's goals, while Rosiek and Schweitzer each assisted on one of the other two tallies.
GW's Sarah Phillips gave her team one more goal with 18:51 remaining, but it was the last for the Colonials. Temple's Ann Stouffer put up the Owls' 11th goal just after the 10-minute mark, and neither team scored the rest of the way.
