2014 Schedule
PHILADELPHIA – Temple field hockey head coach Amanda Janney, entering her 10th season in 2014, has announced the upcoming fall schedule for the Owls. Temple is entering its second season as an associate member of the BIG EAST Conference, and the Owls are coming off a hugely successful season that saw them earn a Top 20 national ranking and finish at 14-6 overall.
This year's slate begins with the annual Conference Cup Tournament hosted by Temple, but this year the games will be played at The Spooky Nook near Lancaster, Pa., the training site of the USA National Team.
"We will be hosting the first collegiate games to be played at the home of our national team," said Janney, "and we are happy to continue the traditions of the Conference Cup." Temple will be facing Northeastern and UMass at the tournament, which will also feature powerhouse Maryland. Two games will be played on Friday, Aug. 29, and another two are set for Sunday, Aug. 31.
After the opening weekend, Temple will play eight more non-conference games before beginning its BIG EAST schedule at Providence on Oct. 3. The Owls will host four of those contests at Geasey Field- against Delaware, Drexel, Kent State and American. They will travel to Rutgers, Duke, Maryland and Bucknell in that same stretch.
The Owls will play BIG EAST home games against Villanova and UConn, and in addition to Providence, they will travel to Old Dominion and Georgetown for conference contests.
"We're ready to start our 2014 season," said Janney. "Our team has been training hard in the spring and we have been successful in our spring tournaments. We lost three amazing seniors in Mandi Shearer, Molly Doyle and Lauren Hunt, who helped develop our program into a Top 20 team. We are going to miss them, but we return eight starters who will be ready for the challenges of the new season."
Janney has never shied away from scheduling the Owls against the best teams in the nation, and she has done so again in 2014. Temple will face eight teams ranked in the Top 20 at the end of the 2013 season, and six of those opponents are non-conference games. The Owls will travel to #1 Maryland and #5 Duke, and will host #9 Penn State on Oct. 5. Temple's 3-0 shutout win on the road at then-#6 Penn State in 2013 helped the Owls earn a #11 national ranking the following week.
"We have seen success with our philosophy of scheduling the best teams to prepare our team for conference play," said Janney, "and we have scheduled some of the best in the nation again this year. We will be playing three out of the four 2013 Final Four teams, including National Champion UConn, runner-up Duke, and 2013 ACC Champion, also the newest member of the BIG TEN Conference, Maryland."
Temple will celebrate Alumni Day during Homecoming weekend when the Owls host La Salle on Sunday, Oct. 12. The Owls will also honor Play 4 the Cure in October, and will look to use other home games to honor causes and promote the sport of field hockey. Senior Day will see Temple honor All-American Amber Youtz as well as Nicole Kroener and All-BIG EAST goalkeeper Lizzy Millen. That celebration will be held prior to Temple's final regular season game against UConn on Saturday, Nov. 1.
"We have a strong home game schedule," said Janney, "and we are looking forward to showcasing our talents on Geasey Field in front of our home crowd."
Following the final home game, the Owls will hope to earn a berth in the four-team BIG EAST Tournament, being hosted in 2014 by Providence College on Nov. 7 and 9.
