Sophomore Katie Briglia scored the first three goals of the game in an eight-minute span to lead Yvonna Osborne and her Temple University Women’s Field Hockey Teammates to a 5 - 0 win over Saint Louis at Geasey Field. It was the sixth shutout of the season for Temple’s goalkeeper Sarah Dalrymple.
Temple improve to 8 - 10 overall and 3 - 2 in the Atlantic 10. They have one more weekend of play (two games) to try to clinch a spot in the four-team A-10 Tournament that will be held at Temple Nov. 5 - 6.
In the ninth minute of the game, Briglia scored her first goal on an unassisted shot directly in front of the net past Saint Louis goalkeeper Alex LaBarge.
A few minutes later Briglia deflected in a shot by teammate Kaylee Keener to put Temple up 2-0, and with 16:49 gone off the clock, Briglia completed the hat trick on a penalty corner with assists from Keener and Taryn Nichols.
Nichols added to Temple’s total in the second half when she put in a shot by Molly Doyle that had rebounded off the post.
Temple got their final goal of the game from Keener who scored on a penalty stroke in the 67th minute.
