Field Hockey Drops OT Heartbreaker at Lafayette
10.13.19 | Field Hockey
EASTON, Pa. – The Temple field hockey team dropped a hard-fought game at Lafayette Sunday afternoon in the team's second overtime game in a row. With the loss, the team falls to 5-6 (1-3 Big East) on the season.
Recapping the Game
> Despite the game getting off to a slow start, Temple controlled possession of the ball for the majority of the game.
> The Owls had several scoring chances in the first half, putting all three shots on goal and earning one penalty corner.
> The biggest scoring chance for Temple came in the third quarter, when freshman Sydney Beck's shot on an open cage went wide.
> Lafayette earned the game-winning goal just 21 seconds into the overtime period, scoring off a penalty corner.
Statistically Speaking
> The Owls were out shot by the Leopards 6-5, though Temple put three on target for a .600 shot on goal percentage.
> Cristina Carotenuto posted just one save, facing two shots on target thanks to the stout defensive performance.
> Mia Sexton led the team in shots with two, putting both on goal.
Quotable
"Today was really good in terms of how we managed Lafayette's ability to thread the ball out of the back field. The game was an even game back and forth with good opportunities on both ends. Most importantly, we need to get a little more aggressive in our attacking end and capitalize on our opportunities!" – Temple head coach Susan Ciufo
Next Up
> Temple will wrap up its four-game road stretch next weekend, facing Old Dominion and Towson.
