No. 2 Gators top Owls in Big East championship

When Temple faced the University of Florida on April 2 to start Big East Conference play, the Owls found themselves trailing by one at halftime against the No. 2 ranked team in the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association poll.

The Owls (13-6, 5-4 Big East) nearly went into the halftime locker room with a one goal deficit Saturday at Georgetown University’s Cooper Field. However, a goal by junior midfielder Mollie Stevens put the Gators up by two with 15 seconds left in the first half.

The goal started a 6-0 run for Florida, who outscored Temple 12-2 in the second half on the way to a 16-4 win.
