The Virginia women's lacrosse team went on the road to Philadelphia Sunday and dominated the Temple Owls by the score of 20-5. Senior midfielder Amy Appelt notched three goals. She also accumulated three assists, one of which was the 100th of her career.
The stingy Virginia defense limited the Owls to a mere 13 shots. The Cavaliers also controlled the draws by a margin of 17-9.
