PHILADELPHIA - Temple lacrosse is taking its four-game win streak on the road to Marquette, looking to remain undefeated in the BIG EAST Conference after starting 2-0. The Owls (7-3, 2-0) will face the Golden Eagles (6-4, 2-0) at 3 p.m. (EST) / 2 p.m. (CST) on Saturday, March 31.
Scouting Temple
> The game in Milwaukee on Saturday is Temple's first on the road since Feb. 25. The Owls have played five straight at home since then, going 4-1.
> Each of Temple's two BIG EAST wins have been one-goal decisions. The Owls upset #22/16 Denver 10-9 on March 18, and followed it up with a 9-8 double overtime win vs. Cincinnati on March 24. Sophomore midfielder Maddie Gebert scored two goals including the clutch game-winner just over one minute into the second overtime period.
> Sophomore goalkeeper Maryn Lowell made her 12th save vs. Denver with 20 seconds left to keep Temple in the lead, and made eight more saves in the Cincinnati win including one in the first overtime. Lowell was named the IWLCA National Defensive Player of the Week after the Owls' win vs. La Salle and Denver, and was also named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week in back-to-back weeks.
> Lowell's 101 saves rank eighth among all players in NCAA Division I, while her 10.10 saves per game rank 20th.
