PHILADELPHIA – After a perfect 2-0 weekend, the Temple women's soccer team looks to wrap up their non-conference schedule with two city rivals. The Owls will host La Salle tomorrow in a 4:00 p.m. matchup and welcome Saint Joseph's on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
Last weekend, the Owls traveled to New Hampshire and recorded their fourth shutout of the season, defeating the reigning America East champions, 4-0 on September 11.
Senior Kelly Farrell notched two goals, scoring in the 60th and 66th minute of the game. Freshman Sarah McGlinn also recorded two goals against the Wildcats, marking her firsts as an Owl. Her first goal came in the 77th minute on a breakaway run that pulled the goalie out of the net; she then followed up with a score in the 79th minute.
On September 13, Temple returned home to face Binghamton. Senior Erin Lafferty scored two goals in the 4-1 game, giving the Owls three multi-goal scorers on the weekend. In the 32nd minute, Lafferty lined up behind the midfield line for a free kick, with the ball bouncing behind the Bearcats' goalkeeper and into the net. She later scored on a penalty kick in the 76th minute. Lafferty and sophomore Elana Falcone, who scored in the 64th minute, both have four goals on the season and are ranked fifth in the American Athletic Conference.
Farrell, who also scored a goal against Binghamton, leads the American Athletic Conference goals scored (8), total points (18), goals per game (1.143), and points per game (2.57). She also leads the NCAA in goals per game and is second in goals scored.
