Scouting Temple
> The Owls are facing a must-win against Georgetown, and also need help from other teams in order to earn a spot in the four-team BIG EAST Tournament next week. Marquette must beat UConn, and Denver must lose to Vanderbilt.
> Temple's tournament chances suffered a blow in a very narrow, 14-13 loss at Villanova on April 21. The Owls came all the way back from a five-goal deficit to tie the game with 2:33 remaining, but the Wildcats scored the game-winner with 1:45 to go.
> Sophomore Maddie Gebert scored a career-high six goals at Villanova, and added two assists for a career-high eight points. Gebert, named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll, leads Temple with 32 goals and five hat tricks this season.Â
> With six of the Owls' 13 draw controls at Villanova, sophomore Kara Nakrasius now ranks fourth all-time in a single season in program history with 62 total draws.
> Temple's most recent win was a big one over Vanderbilt, 10-5 on April 18. Sophomore goalkeeper Maryn Lowell made 14 saves, her second-most of the season, while Gebert scored three goals. In addition to Lowell's outstanding play defensively, senior Nicole Latgis recorded career highs in both ground balls (nine) and caused turnovers (five), while Nakrasius had four draws, six ground balls and three caused turnovers.
> After a three-game skid in early April, the Owls took down Butler in decisive fashion, winning 18-5 on April 14 behind a career-high six goals from senior Toni Yuko. It was the first hat trick of her career, while sophomore Meghan Hoffman and freshman Bridget Whitaker also recorded their first career hat tricks with three goals each.Â
> The defense has gotten a huge boost from Latgis with a team-best 35 caused turnovers (14th in NCAA DI with 2.27 per game, second in the BIG EAST) and team-best 51 ground balls (also 14th in the nation with 3.19 per game and second in the BIG EAST) along with 41 draw controls.Â
> Three of Temple's six losses have come against teams ranked in the IWLCA Top 10 - #9 Princeton, #7 James Madison and #7 Florida.
