PHILADELPHIA - The Temple field hockey team returned home in style, posting a 5-1 win over LIU Friday afternoon. Five different Owls scored against the Sharks, with four seeing their first career goal. With the win, the Cherry and White improves to 4-1 while LIU falls to 1-4.

Recapping the Game
> Temple's offense was explosive, with Maddie Molchany scoring at the one-minute mark off a pass from Annie Judge.
> Peyton Rieger gave the Owls the go-ahead goal, converting a penalty corner with an assist from Myrthe Schuilenburg in the second quarter.
> LIU countered coming out of halftime to cut Temple's lead to 2-1, but five minutes later the Olivia Vaccari scored her third of the season on a penalty corner.
> Agustina Tucceri found the back of the cage off the rebound with two minutes left in the third quarter, giving the Owls a comfortable lead heading into the final frame.
> Julia Bunch put the game away at the 48-minute mark, drawing the goalie out of the cage and sliding the ball into the net.

Statistically Speaking
> Molchany, Rieger, Tucceri, and Bunch each scored their first career goal against the Sharks. 
> Temple outshot LIU 17-4, putting 12 on target.
> Julianne Kopec led the team with four shots, putting three on target.
> Molly Frey recorded one save, with the defense allowing just two shots on goal.
> The Cherry and White outcornered the Sharks 7-4, converting three and successfully defending three.

Quotable
> "It's super exciting to see four ladies score their first collegiate goals and get that confidence. We're putting ourselves in really good goal scoring positions, which means that we are versatile and a threat on the attack. As a group, we try to defend as a unit and that has been key for us. Now, we'll look ahead to a quick road trip before opening conference play next weekend." – head coach Michelle Vittese
