WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – Loren Gehret's header in the 69th minute was the difference as the Monmouth women's soccer team shut out Temple, 1-0, on Sunday for its third consecutive victory.
 
The Hawks (3-2-0) fired a season-high 27 shots but were unable to break through until the last 30 minutes of play. Netminder Tallulah Miller made four saves, holding the Owls (2-4-0) scoreless and claiming her second consecutive clean sheet.
 
Monmouth's offense controlled the early portion of the match, taking five shots in the opening 10 minutes of play, four of which were on target. The Hawks continued to pepper the Temple defense with scoring opportunities, finishing the opening half with 19 attempts on net. In the final seconds of the period, Ashley Lavrich took a feed from Marie Bogue at the top of the 18 and unleashed a shot that beat Owls' goalie Tamsin Bynoe but sailed inches over the bar.
 
The Hawks' attack continued to apply pressure after the intermission. After six more shots in the first 20 minutes of the second half, the home side was finally able to find the back of the net in the 69th minute.
 
Off a throw-in, freshman Brooke De Almeida played a pass to Lavrich in the near corner. The CAA Preseason Honorable Mention recipient launched a cross to Gehret, whose header snuck into the bottom right corner of the goal, giving the Hawks the lead.
 
Five minutes later, the Owls threatened with their best chance of the afternoon on a corner kick. Ofri Sacker sent a header towards the upper corner of the net, but Miller made an acrobatic stop to keep Monmouth in front. The Hawks; defense, which has not allowed a goal in two games, held Temple to just one off-target shot over the game's final 26 minutes.
 
Head Coach Kylee Flynn Postgame:
"We didn't start the season the way we would have hoped for, but we have just continued to work on one thing at a time, learning and growing, and sticking to our principles every single day. The girls just found a way today and it was great to see Loren put one away…Credit to Temple, they are very organized, we had to figure it out and find a way."
 
Monmouth forward Loren Gehret Postgame:
"Ashley (Lavrich) played a great ball in, and I just made a cut behind the defense and was able to put something on it…at halftime, we said we had to keep our intensity up. We knew we were getting a lot of chances, and they just weren't going, so we said if we could keep it up and keep attacking the net, we would get one."
