Templeton led the Valiants to a second-consecutive undefeated conference regular season in 2021, as Manhattanville went 10-0-1 against the Skyline Conference en route to securing the No. 1 overall seed in the conference tournament.

Templeton's squad earned the No. 2 overall seed in the Skyline Tournament as he guided eight Valiants to all-conference selections, including four on the first team. Additionally, he coached junior midfielder Pablo Bravo Olle to a program-record 16 single-season assists en route to his Skyline Offensive Player of the Year honor.
