Field hockey faces Delaware

Coming off of a disappointing shutout loss to Lafayette last Sunday, the field hockey team is looking to pick up two wins this weekend.

On Friday, the Owls take on Delaware (2-5) at Geasey Field at 3 p.m.

The Blue Hens have played a tough early schedule, facing No. 1 North Carolina, No. 10 Michigan and two other Top 25 teams.

Delaware is led by the duo of senior forward Nikki Onorato and freshman midfielder Michaela Patzner, who both have four goals apiece this season.

Earlier this week coach Amanda Janney said that tomorrow’s game will be physical.

“Delaware is a team that we’ve split with in the past, every other year we’ll beat them,” Janney said. “[Delaware] is always a talented, aggressive, and very physical team.”

Temple is in need of a win after dropping two games in a row at home this past weekend, where the team scored a combined one goal in both games.

Sophomore forward Amber Youtz has four goals and three assists on the season, but hasn’t scored a goal in two games.
