2014 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY FIELD HOCKEY TEMPLE NATIONALLY RANKED fOR A SIxTH WEEK IN A ROW With a 10-4 record and wins in five of its last six games, Temple finds itself nationally ranked for a sixth week in a row in the Penn Monto/NFHCA Division I National Coaches Poll. This week, the Owls came in at #16, down one spot despite winning both of their games over the weekend. The NCAA released its updated field hockey RPI on Tuesday, and Temple ranks #10 on that list. The Owls have not fallen below #13 in the RPI, and have been as high as #7. The Owls were not ranked in the preseason poll, but they earned the #16 spot in the first poll of the regular season and have not been ranked any lower since that time. Temple has been ranked as high as 13th this season, and was ranked as high as 11th in 2013. Temple is 2-0 in the BIG EAST Conference, topping the league standings along with #6 UConn, the defending BIG EAST and NCAA Champion. Last weekend the Owls defeated Villanova 6-3, and followed it up with a 5-1 win vs. La Salle. MILLEN HAVING A STANDOUT SEASON IN GOAL Temple senior goalkeeper Lizzy Millen has played a major role in the Owls' success. Millen currently ranks third among all goalkeepers in NCAA Division I with a saves percentage of .806. Millen ranks 26th nationally in saves per game (5.64) and 17th in goals against average (1.48). She leads the BIG EAST in both saves percentage and is second in saves per game. Millen has been named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week three times already this season. YOUTZ MOVING UP THE RANKS Senior Amber Youtz has already made her mark at Temple in a big way, and she is continuing to move up the career record lists in her final season. With 18 goals so far this season, Youtz has now scored 60 goals as an Owl to rank fourth all-time in the record books. She will need eight more to tie for third. Youtz has recorded 142 career points to rank fourth in that category as well. She will likely move into the top 10 for assists soon, needing just one more to tie for 10th place (currently with 22). CENTRAL DAUPHIN DUO Senior Amber Youtz and sophomore Katie Foran are both products of Central Dauphin High School, where they played together for two seasons. The pair have teamed up for three goals this season, and are also the top two in points for the Owls. Youtz leads the team with 39, while Foran has 14 in her sophomore season. OWLS’ GROSS ASSETS Sophomore Paige Gross currently leads the team and ranks 19th in the nation with 10 assists (0.71 per game). Four of her most recent five assists have come as the stick stop on direct penalty corners, and she has a number of other assists on corner plays as well.

2014 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY FIELD HOCKEY PLAY 4 THE CURE Play4The Cure was founded in 2006 by Tina Reinprecht, coach of the Mystx Field Hockey Club in Feasterville, Pa., and a current board member of USA Field Hockey. Play4theCure began as an annual indoor field hockey tournament to raise money for the fight against breast cancer, but has since expanded to include many recreational sports programs, as well as middle school, high school and collegiate teams. Now, together with National Foundation for Cancer Research, Play4theCure has the opportunity to save lives by emphasizing early detection and prevention, while playing a key role in finding cures for ALL types of cancer. Temple field hockey is proud each season to support the NFCR and Play4TheCure. STIfLING THE SCARLET KNIGHTS In the 37 times Temple and Rutgers have played each other, the Owls had only once before scored at least six goals against the Scarlet Knights. In 1991, Temple beat Rutgers 7-1 at home. On Sept. 5 on the road, the Owls earned a 6-1 victory thanks to three goals from Tricia Light in her first career hat trick. Also scoring for Temple was freshman Rachael Mueller with her second goal of the season. Senior Nicole Kroener and junior Alyssa Delp both recorded their first goals of the season in the win, while sophomore Paige Gross notched her fourth assist of the year. 2013 IN REVIEW The Owls are coming off one of their best seasons in program history after finishing at 14-6 overall and 4-3 in the BIG EAST Conference in 2013. Temple was nationally-ranked for the last nine weeks of the 2013 season, entering the NFHCA Coaches Poll at #11 on Sept. 10, and earning a #19 ranking prior to its final game of the year. The Owls finished at #17 in the NCAA RPI rankings, and was one of four BIG EAST teams to rank in the RPI Top 20. Then-junior Amber Youtz led all players in Division I for much of the season in goals per game and points per game. She was named to the 2013 Longstreth/NFHCA All-America Second Team, the 2013 Longstreth/NFHCA All-Region First Team, the 2013 All-BIG EAST First Team, the 2013 Preseason All-BIG EAST Team, and the 2013 BIG EAST All-Tournament Team. GK Lizzy Millen, a junior in 2013, posted five shutouts and was named to the BIG EAST Second Team. Temple lost three seniors to graduation, including Molly Doyle who was named to the Longstreth/NFHCA All-Region Second Team and the BIG EAST Second Team. The Owls earned the fourth seed in the 2013 BIG EAST Tournament, advancing to a conference tournament for the 11th year in a row.
