Box Score

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Delaware field hockey team fell to Temple University 2-0 Sunday afternoon on the road in a non-conference matchup.

COACH'S QUOTE
"Today we played two good quarters of Delaware hockey, but we all understand four has to be the magic number here," said head coach Rolf van de Kerkhof. "This team has everything in place to be great and competitive but it has to demand consistency and simplicity from itself. We have five days left until our must-win game versus Drexel and are clear of the challenges and demands we will face this week."
