The Owls have moved up another spot in the Penn Monto/NFHCA Division I Coaches Poll, earning the No. 16 ranking for this week.

This is the sixth-straight week Temple has held a spot in the national rankings and the second straight that has seen them move up.

Since making their way into the rankings with the No. 11 spot on Sept. 10, the Owls dropped from No. 14, to No. 17 and then to No. 18.

But the team started making its way back up with a move up to No. 17 last week and a now another move up one spot this week.

Temple went 1-1 in a weekend of Big East Conference play, earning a 3-1 win against Providence on Friday, but falling to  No. 20 (now No. 15) Old Dominion 1-0 on Sunday.

The Owls (10-4, 3-2 conference) have five games left on the schedule.

They have Appalachian State at home and No. 20 Drexel on the road this weekend. Then the team will have its last home game of the season against Georgetown on Oct. 25.

After that, the Owls will travel for their last two games, first to Lafayette on Oct. 27 and then to No. 2 UConn on Nov. 2.

The Owls are third in the Big East and will look to secure a top-four spot by season’s end to qualify for the Big East Tournament in Connecticut
