Temple trimmed the Rams' lead in half just 2 1/2 minutes later when freshman John Burns (Philadelphia, Pa./North Catholic) scored, helped by an assist from senior Patrick Murphy (Philadelphia, Pa./Northeast). But Philadelphia University put the game on ice with three minutes to play when junior Rob Miller (Hulmeville, Pa./Neshaminy) scored on a free kick at the 86:10 mark.
