Women’s soccer faces Princeton

The women’s soccer team will be taking on Ivy League Princeton today at Roberts Stadium at 12 p.m.

Coming off of their second win of the season on Friday against Iona, the Owls know that Princeton is another very tough opponent on their 2012 schedule, coach Matt Gwilliam said.

“I expect a really difficult team in Princeton,” Gwilliam said. “They are a very storied program and are a technical group on the field.”

Princeton is entering the match with a 1-1-1 record, while Temple looks to get their third win of the season, currently standing with a 2-3-1 record.

After a shutout win on Friday by freshman goalkeeper Shauni Kerkhoff, coach Gwilliam said that he is still unsure who will be in goal for today’s match against Princeton.

“Every week is a new week, and if I earn it, I will earn it,” Kerkhoff said when asked if she believes she will start in goal on Sunday.

The Owls are not phased by another tough competitor, as they have seen schools such as James Madison, Hofstra, and Princeton already this season, Gwilliam said.

“I think they’re going to be strong, fast, and athletic,” senior forward Morgyn Seigfried said. “They’re going to be a good team, but we have played a lot of good teams this season.
