At 9-3, the Owls have the nation’s 17th ranking once again.

A 1-1 weekend that included a close 2-1 overtime loss to conference opponent Louisville (now No. 14) and a bounce back 3-1 win against Sacred Heart bumped Temple up a spot in this week’s Penn Monto/NFHCA Division I Coaches Poll.

This is the team’s fifth straight week in the national rankings.
