Field Hockey takes on Appalachian State

The No. 16 Owls are down to their final five games of the regular season. They will play in their second to last home game on Friday afternoon.

Temple will take on Appalachian State, looking to bounce back from a frustrating 1-0  loss to Old Dominion on Sunday.

Appalachian State has struggled this season, going 2-11 and having lost eight straight.

The Mountaineers last game was a 9-1 defeat to Liberty last Sunday.

Meanwhile, the Owls split their weekend series, beating Providence 3-1 last Friday before the loss to ODU.

Junior forward Amber Youtz returned from injury in the Providence game and put up a hat-trick in her first game back.

She leads the team in scoring with 13 goals and five assists for 31 points.

Friday is also alumni day and Play 4 The Cure. The team will honor its alum at halftime and will also play in support of the fight against breast cancer.
