» McDermott was named the BIG EAST Attacker of the Week on Feb. 14 after adding four goals to two assists in Temple's season-opening, 13-11 win at Rutgers on Feb. 11. She followed up that performance with a career-high seven points in the Monmouth win four days later, adding six assists to her game-winning goal.
» Senior Morgan Glassford tallied a career-high 11 draw controls for the Owls against Monmouth.
