The bar has been raised by the Temple field hockey program, and in 2014 the Owls have the pieces in place to achieve even greater success. Coming off a season that saw Temple nationally ranked for the first time in 12 years, the Owls return leading scorer and All-American Amber Youtz for her final season as well as a host of other veterans and talented newcomers. Amanda Janney begins her 10th season at the helm after earning her 100th victory near the end of the 2013 slate. Janney has taken the Owls to a conference tournament in each year of her career, and despite the new challenges that came with joining the BIG EAST Conference last season, the tournament berth was earned yet again. The Owls finished fourth in the powerhouse league and were knocked out in the BIG EAST semifinals by eventual national champion Connecticut. Janney has continued to build the program to new heights, and is proud of how far the team has come. “I have seen the program make huge strides,” she said. “Every year we've gotten better and made small steps. It's very rewarding to now have a team that's consistently a top 20 contender and able to beat some of the best teams in the nation. We're able to play with anybody and we also have some of the best players in the nation. “The team has really developed for the better, and we're very proud that they also have such strong characteristics academically. They're focused on their majors, getting internships, and we really feel that we're providing the complete experience for our student-athletes.” Leading the offense again this season will be Youtz, who was named an All-American as a junior despite missing four full games due to injury. She has continued to
excel in the offseason, and was named to the U.S. Field Hockey Indoor National Team along with incoming freshman Maiyah Brown. Other Owls to watch out for on offense and in the midfield include sophomore Katie Foran and juniors Sarah Deck and Alyssa Delp. Foran and Delp combined for nine goals and nine assists last season, while both Deck and Delp started in all 20 games. The Owls will be without second-leading scorer and all-region honoree Molly Doyle, who was lost to graduation along with starters Lauren Hunt and Mandi Shearer. The trio accounted for 13 goals and 16 assists last season, but Janney is confident that the team will be able to replace that loss. Leadership on and off the field will come from the Owls’ three team captains- seniors Nicole Kroener and Lizzy Millen along with junior Rachel Steinman. Kroener has proven to be a valuable weapon on penalty corners for Temple, and led the team last season with 10 assists while also scoring three goals. Steinman helps anchor a strong defensive unit that includes Millen, the team’s starting goalkeeper for the past three seasons and an All-BIG EAST Second Team honoree last year. Another defensive anchor who flies under the radar statistically is junior Taylor Shronk, who recorded two defensive saves last year. “There aren't many weak spots for us in terms of holes we need to fill,” said Janney. “We expect to have an outstanding season and build off the success we had last year being ranked in the Top 20. We know we can beat the teams on our schedule and we expect to do very well in our second year in the BIG EAST Conference.”
2014 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY FIELD HOCKEY PERFECT START The Owls’ 2-0 start is the first since 2010, due primarily to Coach Amanda Janney’s notoriously tough scheduling. For the past three seasons, Temple’s early losses were always to Top 10 teams. This year, the Owls took down their first Top 10 opponent and in decisive fashion, as they shutout #10 UMass, 2-0. MULTIPLE HONORS FOR MILLEN Senior goalkeeper Lizzy Millen was named both the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week and the Corvias ECAC Defensive Player of the Week after the opening week of the 2014 season. Millen was credited with both of Temple's wins in the opening weekend of play, boasting league-best marks of an .833 saves percentage and a 0.52 goals against average. She made two stops in a 4-2 win over Northeastern before rejecting three shots against #10 UMass en route to a 2-0 shutout victory. EIGHT RANKED TEAMS ON THE SLATE As of the release of the Penn Monto/NFHCA Preseason Coaches Poll, Temple will face eight teams ranked in the Top 25. The Owls already took down one of those, #10 UMass, and next up is #4 Duke on Sunday. Temple will face #1 Maryland next weekend. The Terrapins have won nine straight against the Owls, with three of those coming in the last three seasons. The next Top 25 poll will be released on Sept. 9. 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. Their season ended in the BIG EAST Semifinals with a 3-0 loss to #8 UConn, and the Huskies went on to win both the BIG EAST Tournament and NCAA Tournament.

YOUTZ MOVING UP THE RANKS Senior forward Amber Youtz has already made her mark on Temple field hockey in a big way, and she is continuing to move up the career record lists in her final season.
100 FOR JANNEY Temple Head Coach Amanda Janney earned her 100th career victory on Oct. 27, 2013 in the Owls' 3-2 win at Lafayette, and her career record now stands at 102-87. Janney is tied for the second-winning coach in Temple field hockey’s long history. Gwen Cheeseman-Alexander (1980-88) holds the top spot with 115 wins, while Janney and Lauren Fuchs (1993-2004) are currently tied with 102 wins.
With three goals in Temple’s opening weekend of play, Youtz has now scored 45 goals as an Owl to tie recent graduate Bridget Settles for sixth place. She needs just one more goal to tie for fifth, and six more to tie for fourth. Youtz has recorded 109 career points to rank fifth, needing eight more to tie for fourth. Youtz will likely move into the top 10 for assists before long. She currently has 19 assists in her career, needing four more to break into a tie for 10th place.
HEAD COACH AMANDA JANNEY son (11-10) since 1992 and their best Atlantic 10 Conference mark (6-1) since becoming an affiliate in 1988. Temple won 11 of its final 13 games of the season, and six Temple players earned all-conference honors. Prior to accepting the position at Temple, Janney, a '99 graduate of Wake Forest, spent two seasons as an assistant at Penn (2003, 2004) and one season at James Madison (2002). Under Janney's tutelage, Penn finished the 2003 season with a 10-8 record while capturing the Philadelphia City 6 title and garnering a #30 national ranking according to BRP's ratings.com. The 2004 season saw the Quakers win a share of the Ivy League title while boasting a #5 national ranking in scoring defense (.860). The 13-4 Penn squad ranked #20 nationally, according to womensfieldhockey.com. While at JMU, Janney assisted the Dukes to a 13-9 overall mark and their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1999. Following an illustrious playing career as a Demon Deacon, where Janney started 55 games and finished in the school's top 10 in goals (21) and assists (17), she assumed the position of head field hockey coach at Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth, Texas. The stint at Trinity brought Janney back to her alma mater, where she is in the Trojan Hall of Fame for her athletic achievements in field hockey, soccer and softball. While at TVS for three seasons, she led the school to its first-ever undefeated season, posting an overall 53-3-1 record and was twice crowned Southwest Preparatory Champion. In the summer of 2014, Janney was a USFHA High Performance Head Coach for the first time, and her USA Eagles took home the title at the annual Women's National Championship (WNC). For five years prior, Janney served as the Administrator and Assistant Coach for the New Jersey High Performance team. The HP program is the pipeline for collegiate players to tryout for the USA National Team, and the Owls had a record number 12 players on High Performance Teams in 2014, with five of those going on to compete at the WNC. Janney and New Jersey Head Coach Kristen Holmes-Winn, from Princeton University, led their team to a WNC Championship in 2012 with the help of five Temple players. The NJ High Performance team has won the WNC six times, five with Janney on the sidelines as an assistant coach and one when she was a player in 2005. That summer of 2005, she was named an EPTC All-Star and competed against the USA National team in the All-Star game. Janney has remained active in the USFHA Futures program coaching at Futures Nationals again in 2014. She has coached at NFC’s over eight times including three tournaments where she coached a USFHA Futures team to a gold medal. Janney continues to coach Futures during the winter and spring months as an Assistant Futures coach, after being the Head Coach and Site Director at the Pennsylvania Level 1 Elite site for three years in 20082010. Janney has also been instrumental in coaching and coordinating several national youth teams and camps throughout the year. At Temple she runs the Sweet D Field Hockey Camps including AJ's Field Hockey Camps at Geasey Field, an indoor winter clinic, the Hat Tricks & Shutouts Clinics, the October 2009 Amy Tran Clinic, the Randy Lokey Memorial Tournament for U14 teams and the Maria Whitehead Memorial Tournament. In July of 2013, Janney had her third Olympian on campus to guest coach at her camps. Claire Laubach, who started for Team USA in the 2012 London Olympics, taught her drag flick techniques to the campers at AJ's July Camp. In August of 2012 Carrie Lingo visited as a guest coach for a clinic at Temple and in 2009, the top goalkeeper in the world, Amy Tran, hosted a clinic at TU. Janney was instrumental in bringing the inaugural Harrow Cup to Temple in the summer of 2013, showcasing the best of the best among post-collegiate players. Janney and five Temple alumni were drafted onto Harrow Cup teams, where they showcased their talents on Geasey Field. In 2014, Janney along with Associate Head Coach Kelly Driscoll and Graduate Assistant Coach Danica Deckard played on the Harrow Cup's winning team, the Mambas. Janney is a member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association and she attends their yearly conventions to stay up to date with the latest in the sport. She is also an active member of the Women's Coaches Alliance and she graduated from the NCAA Women's Coaches Academy in December, 2010. She was a presenter at the Black Women in Sport Foundation’s "Next Step for Women of Color" Mini-Forum in April of 2012. Janney is committed to staying educated in the current issues of the NCAA and college athletics. She is also committed to educating her student-athletes on Title IX, the NCAA rules, and the many issues that female student-athletes face. She is committed to growing the game among the Philadelphia youth, and in 2013 the Owls were selected by USA Field Hockey as a host for both the USFHA FUNdamental Field Hockey program and the You Go Girl program.
Coming off a season which saw Temple field hockey in the national rankings for the first time in 12 years, head coach Amanda Janney begins her 10th season at the helm with the Owls poised for even bigger and better things in 2014. Temple entered the NFHCA Coaches Poll at #11 in early September of 2013 after a 3-0 upset victory at #6 Penn State, and the Owls maintained a Top-20 ranking for the remainder of their season. They finished at 14-6 overall and 4-3 in their first season as an associate member of the BIG EAST Conference. Temple earned the fourth seed in the BIG EAST Tournament, advancing to a conference tournament for the 11th year in a row and for every season under Coach Janney. Near the conclusion of the 2013 season, Janney recorded her 100th career victory, and she begins her 10th season with an overall record of 100-87. Under Janney’s tutelage, members of the Cherry & White have celebrated 45 all-conference accolades, 21 all-region honors, six Player of the Year awards and three All-America honors. Janney's most recent All-American is Amber Youtz, entering her senior season in 2014 after earning NFHCA All-America Second Team honors as a junior. Three of Janney's athletes took home BIG EAST All-Conference honors in 2013. Youtz was named to the BIG EAST First Team, while redshirt junior goalkeeper Lizzy Millen and senior defender Molly Doyle each earned BIG EAST Second Team honors. Janney coached the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year in each of the team's final two seasons in that conference. Her 2012 team was led by A-10 Offensive Player of the Year Youtz, earning the honor in only her sophomore season after scoring an impressive 22 goals along with 10 assists. Behind the play of Youtz and four other players with seven or more goals, the Owls finished at 12-9 overall (5-2 in the A-10) and advanced to the semifinals of the A-10 Tournament. Janney's student-athletes have excelled impressively in the classroom, and the Owls continue to improve each year. The team was recognized by the NCAA in 2010, 2011 and 2012 for its graduation rate which ranked among the top 10 percent of all field hockey teams in NCAA Division I. Three times in the last five years, a field hockey student-athlete has earned Temple's top honor of PNC Student-Athlete of the Year at the annual Breakfast of Champions. The 2014 honor was earned by Doyle (a shared honor with Temple volleyball), while Katie Briglia took the award in 2013 and Charise Young earned it in 2009. As a team in 2013, the Owls earned the highest GPA among Temple's women's sports with a 3.49. Temple field hockey was also named a 2013 NFHCA Gladiator National Academic Squad and had 17 on its roster named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad with a GPA of 3.30 or higher. The 2011 team, led by A-10 Player of the Year Bridget Settles who also earned AllAmerica Third Team honors, advanced to the A-10 Championship Final and only narrowly missed out on a NCAA berth with a 1-0 loss to Richmond. Despite the championship loss, redshirt freshman goalkeeper Millen was named the Most Outstanding Player of the A-10 Tournament after helping Temple to a shutout, 4-0 win over UMass in the semifinals before making a career-high 11 saves in the championship game against Richmond. Two all-region honorees, Settles and goalkeeper Sarah Dalrymple, helped the Owls to an eighth-straight A-10 Tournament berth in 2010. Temple suffered a 1-0 loss to eventual champ UMass in overtime of the semifinals, one of seven losses in which the Owls came within one goal. Temple finished at 4-2 in the A-10 in both 2008 and 2009 to keep its conference tournament streak alive. The Owls advanced to the championship game in 2009, and senior Charise Young earned numerous honors to cap off the successful season. In addition to her her A-10 First Team and All-Mid Atlantic Second Team selections, Young was named the A-10 Field Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year for the second time. In 2008, senior leader Mary Catherine Kinneman was named the A-10 Defensive Player of the Year. In 2007, Janney guided the Owls to their first regular season Atlantic 10 Championship in program history. Temple finished the season at 15-6 YEAR-BY-YEAR COACHING RECORD overall and 6-1 in A-10 play, earning a berth in the *BIG EAST/ conference tournament semifinals.

The bar has been raised by the Temple field hockey program, and in 2014 the Owls have the pieces in place to achieve even greater success. Coming off a season that saw Temple nationally ranked for the first time in 12 years, the Owls return leading scorer and All-American Amber Youtz for her final season as well as a host of other veterans and talented newcomers. Amanda Janney begins her 10th season at the helm after earning her 100th victory near the end of the 2013 slate. Janney has taken the Owls to a conference tournament in each year of her career, and despite the new challenges that came with joining the BIG EAST Conference last season, the tournament berth was earned yet again. The Owls finished fourth in the powerhouse league and were knocked out in the BIG EAST semifinals by eventual national champion Connecticut. Janney has continued to build the program to new heights, and is proud of how far the team has come. “I have seen the program make huge strides,” she said. “Every year we've gotten better and made small steps. It's very rewarding to now have a team that's consistently a top 20 contender and able to beat some of the best teams in the nation. We're able to play with anybody and we also have some of the best players in the nation. “The team has really developed for the better, and we're very proud that they also have such strong characteristics academically. They're focused on their majors, getting internships, and we really feel that we're providing the complete experience for our student-athletes.” Leading the offense again this season will be Youtz, who was named an All-American as a junior despite missing four full games due to injury. She has continued to
excel in the offseason, and was named to the U.S. Field Hockey Indoor National Team along with incoming freshman Maiyah Brown. Other Owls to watch out for on offense and in the midfield include sophomore Katie Foran and juniors Sarah Deck and Alyssa Delp. Foran and Delp combined for nine goals and nine assists last season, while both Deck and Delp started in all 20 games. The Owls will be without second-leading scorer and all-region honoree Molly Doyle, who was lost to graduation along with starters Lauren Hunt and Mandi Shearer. The trio accounted for 13 goals and 16 assists last season, but Janney is confident that the team will be able to replace that loss. Leadership on and off the field will come from the Owls’ three team captains- seniors Nicole Kroener and Lizzy Millen along with junior Rachel Steinman. Kroener has proven to be a valuable weapon on penalty corners for Temple, and led the team last season with 10 assists while also scoring three goals. Steinman helps anchor a strong defensive unit that includes Millen, the team’s starting goalkeeper for the past three seasons and an All-BIG EAST Second Team honoree last year. Another defensive anchor who flies under the radar statistically is junior Taylor Shronk, who recorded two defensive saves last year. “There aren't many weak spots for us in terms of holes we need to fill,” said Janney. “We expect to have an outstanding season and build off the success we had last year being ranked in the Top 20. We know we can beat the teams on our schedule and we expect to do very well in our second year in the BIG EAST Conference.”
2014 TEMPLE UNIVERSITY FIELD HOCKEY PERFECT START The Owls’ 2-0 start is the first since 2010, due primarily to Coach Amanda Janney’s notoriously tough scheduling. For the past three seasons, Temple’s early losses were always to Top 10 teams. This year, the Owls took down their first Top 10 opponent and in decisive fashion, as they shutout #10 UMass, 2-0. MULTIPLE HONORS FOR MILLEN Senior goalkeeper Lizzy Millen was named both the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week and the Corvias ECAC Defensive Player of the Week after the opening week of the 2014 season. Millen was credited with both of Temple's wins in the opening weekend of play, boasting league-best marks of an .833 saves percentage and a 0.52 goals against average. She made two stops in a 4-2 win over Northeastern before rejecting three shots against #10 UMass en route to a 2-0 shutout victory. EIGHT RANKED TEAMS ON THE SLATE As of the release of the Penn Monto/NFHCA Preseason Coaches Poll, Temple will face eight teams ranked in the Top 25. The Owls already took down one of those, #10 UMass, and next up is #4 Duke on Sunday. Temple will face #1 Maryland next weekend. The Terrapins have won nine straight against the Owls, with three of those coming in the last three seasons. The next Top 25 poll will be released on Sept. 9. 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.

YOUTZ MOVING UP THE RANKS Senior forward Amber Youtz has already made her mark on Temple field hockey in a big way, and she is continuing to move up the career record lists in her final season.
100 FOR JANNEY Temple Head Coach Amanda Janney earned her 100th career victory on Oct. 27, 2013 in the Owls' 3-2 win at Lafayette, and her career record now stands at 102-87. Janney is tied for the second-winning coach in Temple field hockey’s long history. Gwen Cheeseman-Alexander (1980-88) holds the top spot with 115 wins, while Janney and Lauren Fuchs (1993-2004) are currently tied with 102 wins.
With three goals in Temple’s opening weekend of play, Youtz has now scored 45 goals as an Owl to tie recent graduate Bridget Settles for sixth place. She needs just one more goal to tie for fifth, and six more to tie for fourth. Youtz has recorded 109 career points to rank fifth, needing eight more to tie for fourth. Youtz will likely move into the top 10 for assists before long. She currently has 19 assists in her career, needing four more to break into a tie for 10th place.
HEAD COACH AMANDA JANNEY son (11-10) since 1992 and their best Atlantic 10 Conference mark (6-1) since becoming an affiliate in 1988. Temple won 11 of its final 13 games of the season, and six Temple players earned all-conference honors. Prior to accepting the position at Temple, Janney, a '99 graduate of Wake Forest, spent two seasons as an assistant at Penn (2003, 2004) and one season at James Madison (2002). Under Janney's tutelage, Penn finished the 2003 season with a 10-8 record while capturing the Philadelphia City 6 title and garnering a #30 national ranking according to BRP's ratings.com. The 2004 season saw the Quakers win a share of the Ivy League title while boasting a #5 national ranking in scoring defense (.860). The 13-4 Penn squad ranked #20 nationally, according to womensfieldhockey.com. While at JMU, Janney assisted the Dukes to a 13-9 overall mark and their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1999. Following an illustrious playing career as a Demon Deacon, where Janney started 55 games and finished in the school's top 10 in goals (21) and assists (17), she assumed the position of head field hockey coach at Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth, Texas. The stint at Trinity brought Janney back to her alma mater, where she is in the Trojan Hall of Fame for her athletic achievements in field hockey, soccer and softball. While at TVS for three seasons, she led the school to its first-ever undefeated season, posting an overall 53-3-1 record and was twice crowned Southwest Preparatory Champion. In the summer of 2014, Janney was a USFHA High Performance Head Coach for the first time, and her USA Eagles took home the title at the annual Women's National Championship (WNC). For five years prior, Janney served as the Administrator and Assistant Coach for the New Jersey High Performance team. The HP program is the pipeline for collegiate players to tryout for the USA National Team, and the Owls had a record number 12 players on High Performance Teams in 2014, with five of those going on to compete at the WNC. Janney and New Jersey Head Coach Kristen Holmes-Winn, from Princeton University, led their team to a WNC Championship in 2012 with the help of five Temple players. The NJ High Performance team has won the WNC six times, five with Janney on the sidelines as an assistant coach and one when she was a player in 2005. That summer of 2005, she was named an EPTC All-Star and competed against the USA National team in the All-Star game. Janney has remained active in the USFHA Futures program coaching at Futures Nationals again in 2014. She has coached at NFC’s over eight times including three tournaments where she coached a USFHA Futures team to a gold medal. Janney continues to coach Futures during the winter and spring months as an Assistant Futures coach, after being the Head Coach and Site Director at the Pennsylvania Level 1 Elite site for three years in 20082010. Janney has also been instrumental in coaching and coordinating several national youth teams and camps throughout the year. At Temple she runs the Sweet D Field Hockey Camps including AJ's Field Hockey Camps at Geasey Field, an indoor winter clinic, the Hat Tricks & Shutouts Clinics, the October 2009 Amy Tran Clinic, the Randy Lokey Memorial Tournament for U14 teams and the Maria Whitehead Memorial Tournament. In July of 2013, Janney had her third Olympian on campus to guest coach at her camps. Claire Laubach, who started for Team USA in the 2012 London Olympics, taught her drag flick techniques to the campers at AJ's July Camp. In August of 2012 Carrie Lingo visited as a guest coach for a clinic at Temple and in 2009, the top goalkeeper in the world, Amy Tran, hosted a clinic at TU. Janney was instrumental in bringing the inaugural Harrow Cup to Temple in the summer of 2013, showcasing the best of the best among post-collegiate players. Janney and five Temple alumni were drafted onto Harrow Cup teams, where they showcased their talents on Geasey Field. In 2014, Janney along with Associate Head Coach Kelly Driscoll and Graduate Assistant Coach Danica Deckard played on the Harrow Cup's winning team, the Mambas. Janney is a member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association and she attends their yearly conventions to stay up to date with the latest in the sport. She is also an active member of the Women's Coaches Alliance and she graduated from the NCAA Women's Coaches Academy in December, 2010. She was a presenter at the Black Women in Sport Foundation’s "Next Step for Women of Color" Mini-Forum in April of 2012. Janney is committed to staying educated in the current issues of the NCAA and college athletics. She is also committed to educating her student-athletes on Title IX, the NCAA rules, and the many issues that female student-athletes face. She is committed to growing the game among the Philadelphia youth, and in 2013 the Owls were selected by USA Field Hockey as a host for both the USFHA FUNdamental Field Hockey program and the You Go Girl program.
Coming off a season which saw Temple field hockey in the national rankings for the first time in 12 years, head coach Amanda Janney begins her 10th season at the helm with the Owls poised for even bigger and better things in 2014. Temple entered the NFHCA Coaches Poll at #11 in early September of 2013 after a 3-0 upset victory at #6 Penn State, and the Owls maintained a Top-20 ranking for the remainder of their season. They finished at 14-6 overall and 4-3 in their first season as an associate member of the BIG EAST Conference. Temple earned the fourth seed in the BIG EAST Tournament, advancing to a conference tournament for the 11th year in a row and for every season under Coach Janney. Near the conclusion of the 2013 season, Janney recorded her 100th career victory, and she begins her 10th season with an overall record of 100-87. Under Janney’s tutelage, members of the Cherry & White have celebrated 45 all-conference accolades, 21 all-region honors, six Player of the Year awards and three All-America honors. Janney's most recent All-American is Amber Youtz, entering her senior season in 2014 after earning NFHCA All-America Second Team honors as a junior. Three of Janney's athletes took home BIG EAST All-Conference honors in 2013. Youtz was named to the BIG EAST First Team, while redshirt junior goalkeeper Lizzy Millen and senior defender Molly Doyle each earned BIG EAST Second Team honors. Janney coached the Atlantic 10 Player of the Year in each of the team's final two seasons in that conference. Her 2012 team was led by A-10 Offensive Player of the Year Youtz, earning the honor in only her sophomore season after scoring an impressive 22 goals along with 10 assists. Behind the play of Youtz and four other players with seven or more goals, the Owls finished at 12-9 overall (5-2 in the A-10) and advanced to the semifinals of the A-10 Tournament. Janney's student-athletes have excelled impressively in the classroom, and the Owls continue to improve each year. The team was recognized by the NCAA in 2010, 2011 and 2012 for its graduation rate which ranked among the top 10 percent of all field hockey teams in NCAA Division I. Three times in the last five years, a field hockey student-athlete has earned Temple's top honor of PNC Student-Athlete of the Year at the annual Breakfast of Champions. The 2014 honor was earned by Doyle (a shared honor with Temple volleyball), while Katie Briglia took the award in 2013 and Charise Young earned it in 2009. As a team in 2013, the Owls earned the highest GPA among Temple's women's sports with a 3.49. Temple field hockey was also named a 2013 NFHCA Gladiator National Academic Squad and had 17 on its roster named to the NFHCA National Academic Squad with a GPA of 3.30 or higher. The 2011 team, led by A-10 Player of the Year Bridget Settles who also earned AllAmerica Third Team honors, advanced to the A-10 Championship Final and only narrowly missed out on a NCAA berth with a 1-0 loss to Richmond. Despite the championship loss, redshirt freshman goalkeeper Millen was named the Most Outstanding Player of the A-10 Tournament after helping Temple to a shutout, 4-0 win over UMass in the semifinals before making a career-high 11 saves in the championship game against Richmond. Two all-region honorees, Settles and goalkeeper Sarah Dalrymple, helped the Owls to an eighth-straight A-10 Tournament berth in 2010. Temple suffered a 1-0 loss to eventual champ UMass in overtime of the semifinals, one of seven losses in which the Owls came within one goal. Temple finished at 4-2 in the A-10 in both 2008 and 2009 to keep its conference tournament streak alive. The Owls advanced to the championship game in 2009, and senior Charise Young earned numerous honors to cap off the successful season. In addition to her her A-10 First Team and All-Mid Atlantic Second Team selections, Young was named the A-10 Field Hockey Student-Athlete of the Year for the second time. In 2008, senior leader Mary Catherine Kinneman was named the A-10 Defensive Player of the Year. In 2007, Janney guided the Owls to their first regular season Atlantic 10 Championship in program history. Temple finished the season at 15-6 YEAR-BY-YEAR COACHING RECORD overall and 6-1 in A-10 play, earning a berth in the *BIG EAST/ conference tournament semifinals.
