Glassford Earns Third BIG EAST Midfielder of the Week Award

5.2.17 | Women's Lacrosse

NEW YORK - For a third and final time this season, Temple senior Morgan Glassford has been named the BIG EAST Lacrosse Midfielder of the Week. The Owls fell 19-15 at UConn in their lone game last week, but Glassford had a particularly strong showing.

Glassford stuffed the stat sheet in the game at UConn, tying her career high with four goals while also recording a game-high six draw controls, four ground balls and two caused turnovers. Her four goals were off six total shots. The senior now holds the top two spots all-time at Temple for single-season draws (78 in 2016, 69 in 2017) and has the program's career record for draw controls with 170.

Previously, Glassford earned Midfielder of the Week honors on Feb. 28 and March 7.

Temple has earned a berth in the upcoming BIG EAST Championships to be held at Villanova on May 4 and 6. The fourth-seeded Owls will face top-seeded and No. 2 Florida at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 4 in the first semifinal of the tournament.
