Junior forward Amber Youtz has been named to the Big East Conference First Team and senior midfielder/defender Molly Doyle and redshirt-junior goalkeeper Lizzy Millen have been named to the second team.

The three received honors Thursday night at the conference’s awards banquet, just a day prior to the start of the Big East Tournament.

Youtz led Temple in scoring this season with 16 goals and seven assists for 39 points. She leads the NCAA in points per game with a 2.60 average and is third in goals per game with an average of 1.07. Youtz was selected to the Preseason All-Big East Team before the start of the season and was named the conference’s offensive player of the week twice during the year.

Doyle was right behind Youtz with eight goals and three assists for 19 points, which is second on the team in scoring. Doyle was also named Big East Offensive Player of the Week, after scoring two goals in the 3-0 shutout of Penn State back on Sept. 6 and has played a big role in a defense that has held opponents to 1.53 goals per game.

Millen has started all 19 of Temple’s games this season in the cage, recording five shutouts and posting a .775 save percentage that is 13th in the nation. She made a 100 saves in 2013 to total 299 for her career, which is seventh all-time on the team.

The No. 19 Owls begin postseason play Friday at 5 pm, with a rematch against No. 7 Connecticut in the conference semifinals. Temple is the fourth seed in the tournament, while UConn has the No. 1 spot. Temple lost to UConn 7-0 when both teams met last weekend.
