NEW YORK - After leading Temple to its first BIG EAST win of the year on April 11, freshman Nicole Barretta has been named the BIG EAST Lacrosse Rookie of the Week. The honor is the first for Barretta, and is the Owls' fourth weekly award of the season.
Against Marquette, Barretta had three goals, two assists and two draw controls. She scored the go-ahead goal (3-2) at the 13:07 mark in the first half and Temple never trailed again in the win over the Golden Eagles.
Temple is back in action on Wednesday, April 15 in its final home game of the season, a 3:00 p.m. contest against Villanova.
BIG EAST Attacker Of The WeekÂ

In the 10-9 overtime win over the Huskies, Lockwood had five points off four goals and an assist, with her helper coming on the game-winning double-overtime score with 50 seconds remaining. She scored three of Vandy's final six goals of the game, rallying from a four-goal deficit for the BIG EAST win.
