Temple falls to Ohio State on Senior Day – The Temple News
Temple Lacrosse found themselves down 8-4 midway through the third quarter, going nearly 10 minutes without a score. The Owls’ offense had struggled all game, and things looked bleak for the team on their Senior Day.
Attacker Amelia Wright broke the drought with seven minutes left in the period and sparked Temple’s offense with her second goal of the game. Midfielders Belle Mastropietro and Maeve Tobin found the back of the net after Wright and Temple entered the fourth quarter down just one goal and with new life.
The teams traded goals to open the final frame before Mastropietro put home her second goal and tied the game. Ohio State attacker Zoe Coleman answered with four minutes left to take back the lead, and the Buckeyes held on for the remainder of the game.
Temple (9-5, 4-1 American Athletic Conference) fell to Ohio State (8-8, 1-5 Big Ten) 10-9 Sunday Afternoon at Howarth Field. The Owls have one game left to get back on track before postseason play begins.
“I saw a battle today,” said Temple head coach Bonnie Rosen. “We showed great resilience and desire to dig in during big moments. It was a really competitive, hard-fought game.”
The Owls started the day about as well as they could have imagined. Mastropietro won the opening draw, and attacker Julie Schickling scored just 30 seconds into the action. Tobin found the back of the net less than five minutes later to give Temple an early 2-0 advantage.
Temple’s offense petered out after the hot start, scoring just two goals the rest of the first half. Ohio State began to find its groove, scoring back-to-back goals midway through the first quarter to erase the deficit.
“We tried a lot of stack plays, and those didn’t work because they had a good man defense walling up the stacks,” Wright said. “We tried to open it up, and we were not careful with the ball and made some risky passes that didn’t pay off.”
The Buckeyes continued to build their lead, shutting down Temple offenses and gradually tacking on goals through the second and third quarters. Midfielder Annie Hargraves scored three of the Buckeyes’ goals, and attacker Leah Sax added two in that timeframe.
The Owls tied the game with about seven minutes left and had a chance to tie the game again with 33 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Rosen called timeout to set up the offense, but the Owls lost possession and could not get it back in time.
“We were looking to draw attention with a dodge and kick the ball into the middle for a finish or get it down low, ” Rosen said. “We tried to put the ball in Amelia’s stick, but it was just a little too quick. But I am really happy we gave ourselves a chance to put the ball in the net.”
Ohio State fired off 26 shots and put 19 on goal, while Temple only had 24 shots and 18 on goal. The Buckeyes dominated the draw circle, winning 15 times compared to the Owls’ eight wins. Attack-draw Jamie Lasda won eight of the Buckeyes’ draws.
Both defenses showed up today, as the Owls forced 15 turnovers and Ohio State forced 12. Temple defender Katie Shallow led the game with seven caused turnovers, matching her season-high against Penn on Feb. 28.
Mastropietro, Shallow and attacker Mackenzie Roth took Howarth Field for the final time on Sunday. The seniors each hold program records at their positions and helped Temple reach the NCAA Tournament and multiple AAC tournaments.
“From the moment they came together, they learned to really support each other,” Rosen said. “It’s a class that, mentality-wise, represents everything Temple Lacrosse is about. They work their butts off and dig in day in and day out.”
Temple will hit the road for its regular season finale, traveling to Gainesville, Florida, to take on conference-leading No. 19 Florida (14-2, 5-0 AAC) on April 27 at noon.

POMEROY, Ohio (WCHS) — A fire destroyed one home and damaged two others Wednesday evening, but then rekindled early Thursday morning and destroyed another home, police said.
The fire was first reported just after 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday night in the 300 block of Wetzgall Street in Pomeroy, according to a press release from the Pomeroy Police Department.
According to police, the fire spread to the two homes on either side of the original home on fire. Firefighters contained the fire and saved the two surrounding homes, but the home that first caught fire was deemed a total loss.
Then, just after 3 a.m. on Thursday morning, the fire rekindled and spread to one of the other homes, resulting in a total loss of that home as well, police said.
Pomeroy police said both homes were occupied at the time of the fires, but all occupants of each home were able to exit their homes safely. Police also said that there were no reported injuries, though both families lost everything they owned due to the total losses of the homes.
The cause of the fire has not been determined, and the incident is still under active investigation by the Ohio State Fire Marshal’s Office, according to police.
What we know about student loans and the Education Department
Will Education Department restructuring affect your student loans? Here’s what we know know.
Student loan borrowers under the Biden-era student loan repayment plan, Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE), may soon have to select a new repayment plan after the U.S. Department of Education agreed to a measure to permanently end the program.
A proposed joint settlement agreement announced Tuesday between the DOE and the State of Missouri seeks to end what officials call the “illegal” SAVE program, impacting more than seven million SAVE borrowers who would have to enroll in another program. The settlement must be approved by the court before it can be implemented.
Ohio borrowers carry some of the nation’s highest student loan debt. Here’s how the proposed change could affect them.
What is the SAVE plan?
Originally known as REPAYE, the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan was created to deliver the lowest monthly payments among income-driven repayment programs. Under the Biden administration, it became the most affordable option for borrowers.
According to USA TODAY, the SAVE plan was part of Biden’s push to deliver nearly $200 billion in student loan relief to more than 5 million Americans. It wiped out $5.5 billion in debt for nearly half a million borrowers and cut many monthly payments down to $0.
But officials in President Donald Trump’s administration claim the Biden plan was illegal.
Why does the Department of Education want to end the SAVE plan?
The DOE says the SAVE plan aimed to provide mass forgiveness without congressional approval, costing taxpayers $342 billion over 10 years. In a press release, the Department said the administration promised unrealistically low payments and quick forgiveness without legal authority.
“The Trump administration is righting this wrong and bringing an end to this deceptive scheme,” Under Secretary of Education Nicholas Kent said in a release. “Thanks to the State of Missouri and other states fighting against this egregious federal overreach, American taxpayers can now rest assured they will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for illegal and irresponsible student loan policies.”
If the agreement is approved by the court, no new borrowers will be able to enroll in the SAVE plan. The agency says it will deny any pending applications and move all SAVE borrowers back into other repayment plans.
Borrowers currently enrolled in the SAVE Plan would have a limited time to select a new repayment plan and begin repaying their student loans.
The DOE adds that it is working on the loan repayment provisions of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act, which created a new Income-Driven Repayment plan called the Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP), that will be available to borrowers by July 1, 2026.
How many people in Ohio have student loan debt?
Numbers from the Education Data Initiative show that there are about 1.7 million student loan borrowers in Ohio, carrying over $60 billion in debt. The average student loan debt is approximately $35,072.
Ohio also ranks No. 10 among the states with the most student debt, according to personal finance site WalletHub.
How much money does Ohio get from the Department of Education?
The DOE budget for Ohio for fiscal year 2025 is estimated to be more than $5.65 billion, The Columbus Dispatch previously reported.
President Trump announced his intentions to eliminate the Department of Education earlier this year, meaning that Ohio could lose more than $5 billion in annual funding.
