Quotable
> "The seniors have been absolutely tremendous and they've given us so much on and off the field," said Temple head coach Seamus O'Connor. "They've contributed to this program significantly these past four years in terms of their leadership and how to be confident young women who are successful in both the classroom and in life. They're perfect role models for all our freshmen and recruits coming in, demonstrating who we are at Temple women's soccer."
