9.19.23 | Field Hockey
PHILADELPHIA - After opening its 2023 campaign strong, the Temple field hockey team has entered the NFHCA Rankings at No. 19. This is the highest ranking the Owls have seen since ending the 2014 season ranked No. 16.
The Cherry and White returns to the rankings after ending the 2022 season ranked No. 23, the only previous unranked team to enter the top-20. Temple is 6-2 (1-0 BIG EAST) through four weekends of competition, falling only to Yale and No. 6 Virginia. The Owls opened their conference slate with a 1-0 shutout of UConn last Friday, topping the Huskies for the third-straight year.
Molly Frey has been a force in goal, recording 26 saves and allowing 11 goals for a 0.703 save percentage. Her 1.38 GAA ranks 21st in the NCAA and second in the league. On the offensive side of the ball, Preseason All-Conference selection Tess Muller leads the team with three goals. All three have been game-winners, including the game-winner against UConn. The Naarden, Netherlands native also leads the team with 14 shots. Alizé Maes is the team's main feeder, posting three assists and scoring one goal. The Owls have been stellar on the penalty corner defense and attack, drawing 6.62 per game to rank 28th in the nation. The team as allowed just 33, successfully defending 28.
Temple will return to the pitch for its second BIG EAST game of the season, heading to Norfolk, Va. to face Old Dominion on Sept. 22.
