Temple Womens Soccer Signs Five To National Letters Of
Intent
The Owls begin the 2009 season on August 28th
May 13, 2009
PHILADELPHIA-Temple head women’s soccer coach David Jones has announced that
Sara Hatton (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek), Jackie Krostek (Mendham,
N.J./West Morris Mendham), Kate Yurkovic (Harrisburg, Pa./Central Dauphin),
Brittany Wollner (Downingtown, Pa./Downingtown) and Gillian Kacsuta
(Pittsburgh, Pa./Schenley) have all signed on to play at Temple for the 2009
season.
A midfielder, Hatton was a four-year varsity letter-winner for Timber Creek
High School, leading her squad to the quarterfinals of the New Jersey state
championships as a freshman. She was a First Team All-Conference and
All-State selection as a junior and earned Second Team All-Conference honors
this past fall.
An All-County and Daily Record Honorable Mention in 2007, Krostek twice led
West Morris Mendham to a second place finish in the Iron Hills Conference. A
midfielder, she was part of a West Morris squad that won the NJ North 2
Group 3 State Sectional, was a State semi-finalist in 2007 and was a Morris
County Tournament semi-finalist in 2006.
A three-time First Team Mid-Penn Commonwealth Division All-Star, Yurkovic
racked up 15 goals and 12 assists for a Central Dauphin team (23-2-0) that
claimed its second straight PIAA Class AAA spring title. The team also
captured the District 3-AAA crown and a share of the Commonwealth Division
Championship. A two-time member of the Patriot News Big 11 Team, Yurkovic is
the sister of Owl sophomore Allicia Yurkovic.
Wollner competed for a Downingtown team that finished the season with a
16-6-1 record after starting the year ranked eighth in ESPN’s RISE FAB 50
Girls Soccer Rankings. A two-sport athlete who lettered in both soccer and
lacrosse, Wollner is also a member of the Fury club team.
A goalie, Kacsuta finished her career with 29 career shutouts, including 13
as a senior. She led Schenley to back-to-back City Championships and a
16-3-1 record in 2008. A member of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette’s All-Area
Girl’s Soccer Team, Kacsuta was named the Post Gazette’s Athlete of the Week
after posting her 13th shutout of the season.
Temple begins the 2009 season with a home match against St. Francis on
August 28th.
