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.
When’s Ohio’s 2026 primary election? Date, candidates, changes to know
See which candidates are conditionally qualified for Ohio’s 2026 primary ballot and key election deadlines.
Ohio’s primary election season has begun – Election Day is May 5. Ohio’s candidates are vying for spots on the ballot for the November midterm elections.
That’s nothing new, but Ohio made significant changes to mail-in voting that voters need to know about.
What has changed with Ohio’s mail-in ballots?
Voting through a mail-in ballot? There are some changes voters should know.
Signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine in December 2025, Senate Bill 293 requires absentee ballots to arrive by the close of polls to be counted, with an exception for military and overseas voters.
Any mail-in or absentee ballots must now be received before or on Election Day by 7:30 p.m. in order to be counted. There is no longer a 4-day grace period after Election Day.
The primary election is May 5, and the general election is Nov. 3, 2026.
So, when should you send your mail-in ballot in Ohio? The sooner the better. The U.S. Postal Service does not necessarily postmark your mail the day it is received unless you specifically request it. So, you ballot may not make it to a postal processing center until the day after you drop it in a mailbox.
When does Ohio early voting start? Key dates for early, absentee, mail-in votes
The primary election will be held May 5, 2026, according to this year’s voting schedule.
Early in‑person voting began on April 7, including the Saturday and Sunday before Election Day. Absentee voting by mail also began on April 7.
On Election Day, May 5, polls are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Absentee ballots must be received by your local board of elections by 7:30 p.m., per the voting schedule.
