Coming into Saturday’s game, the Golden Eagles were locked in a three-way tie in the BIG EAST conference with Temple and No. 8 Florida. After an impressive 16-4 win over the Temple Owls (7-4, 2-1 BIG EAST), the Golden Eagles (7-4, 3-0 BIG EAST) are tied only with Florida for first place in the conference.
“We lost to Temple in overtime last year, so I think that was in their minds just a little bit, enough to propel a really strong start,” head coach Meredith Black said.
The Golden Eagles scored 11 goals in the first half to help secure the victory.
