Cat Rainone has completed her first season as an assistant coach on the Temple staff, where she coached one of the nation's best defenses.
The Owls finished the 2024 season 21st in the country in goals allowed (9.88), sixth in ground balls (20.94 per game), and third in caused turnovers (11.69 per game). Rainone helped Katie Shallow earn the program's first AAC Defensive Player of the Year award, as well as All-AAC First Team honors for Maddie Barber and goalie Taylor Grollman. Shallow and Barber were first and second in the conference and among the nation's leaders in caused turnovers and ground balls, while Grollman finished the season Top 20 nationally in save percentage and goals against average.
Rainone came to North Philadelphia after two years at Oregon, where she helped the Ducks to their best scoring defense and most caused turnovers in five seasons in 2022. The Newtown, Pa. native previously spent three seasons at La Salle and was a standout goalkeeper during her playing career at Penn State. She led the Nittany Lions to the NCAA Final Four as a senior  and was named Big Ten All-Academic twice during her career. She graduated in 2017 with a degree in kinesiology
