Kerkhoff injured in Owls first loss

Shannon Senour had never heard someone scream so loud in her life.

In the 23rd minute of Temple’s (5–1) road 2–1 loss against city-rival Penn, senior goalkeeper Shauni Kerkhoff made an aggressive play as the Owls were in danger of going down by two goals for the first time this season.

The ball was crossed into the box from the left corner, leaving Kerkhoff on a crash course with Penn’s Allie Trzaska. Senour, a senior midfielder, attempted to get in between Kerkhoff and Trzaska, but Kerkhoff called off her teammate at the last second.

Trzaska’s attempt found the back of the net, but her leg collided with Kerkhoff’s in the process.
