The Temple women’s lacrosse team huddled on the field at Boston College, ready to take on UMass in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament. After earning their first at-large bid since 1998 as an independent team, and making their first appearance at the tournament since an automatic bid in 2008, the Owls were ready to put in the work.
Despite suffering a season-ending injury earlier in the year, fifth year senior and notable team leader Kara Nakrasius stepped into the huddle and said, “Let’s make history today!” The Owls did just that.
Temple defeated #18 UMass, 14-13, winning their first NCAA tournament game since 1998.
