» The Owls' four hat tricks on Feb. 15 vs. Monmouth were their most in five years. The last time four Temple players had hat tricks was in a 20-16 loss at Richmond on April 15, 2012.
» McDermott is the reigning BIG EAST Attacker of the Week after adding four goals to two assists in Temple's season-opening, 13-11 win at Rutgers on Feb. 11. She followed up that performance with a career-high seven points in the Monmouth win four days later, adding six assists to her game-winning goal.
» The Owls led 6-2 early in the Rutgers win, but the Scarlet Knights came back to tie at 8-8 and 11-11. Over the final 4:31, Temple got goals from Lambeth and senior Morgan Glassford to break open the tie and seal the victory.
» Glassford tallied a career-high 11 draw controls for the Owls against Monmouth. She recorded 78 draw controls in 2016 which were a BIG EAST-best and rank first all-time in a single season at Temple. With 4.11 draw controls per game, Glassford also ranked 18th among all players in NCAA Division I.

Four Hat Tricks
Four players notched hat tricks for Temple in its 18-16 Monmouth win on Feb. 15, led by sophomore Amber Lambeth who tied her career goal, set one game earlier, with four goals. Senior Anna Frederick, senior Carly Demato and junior Nicole Barretta all scored three goals apiece. The Owls' four hat tricks were their most in five years. The last time four Temple players achieved the feat was in a 20-16 loss at Richmond on April 15, 2012.
Drawing on Glass
Senior Morgan Glassford led the BIG EAST in draw controls last season, ranking 18th in NCAA Division I with 4.11 draws per game, and she shows no signs of slowing down so far in the 2017 season. Glassford racked up a career-high 11 draw controls in the Owls' 18-16 win vs. Monmouth on Feb. 15, including three crucial draws that helped Temple come back from a three-goal deficit with five minutes remaining. Glassford has recorded 115 draws in her career, already ranking fourth all-time at Temple with nearly a full season left to play.

Sophomore Sensation
In 2016, then-freshman Amber Lambeth played in just 10 games and her stat totals included one assist and one draw control. Her sophomore season is shaping up to be a breakout one, as Lambeth leads the team with eight goals after just two games. She scored a team-high four goals in each, leading the Owls to a 13-11 win at Rutgers and an 18-16 win vs. Monmouth.Â
Keeping it in the Family
The 2017 season marks the fifth in a row in which Temple lacrosse has had at least one set of sisters. From 2013-16, the Owls had two sets of identical twins in Nicole and Megan Tiernan along with Avery and Kari Longstaff. While all four have now graduated, Temple has a new pair of sisters in senior Anna Frederick and freshman Lizzie Frederick. The two hail from Rehoboth Beach, Del., and Cape Henlopen High School where they played with current redshirt freshman Taylor Gooch. Frequently seen taking photos on the sidelines of Temple lacrosse games is Dave "Fredman" Frederick, the grandfather of Anna and Lizzie who played football for Temple in the late 1960s.
