PHILADELPHIA – Despite out-shooting its opponent 12-2 in the second half, the Temple field hockey team came up short at its Atlantic 10 and city rival La Salle, falling 2-1 to the Explorers on Friday afternoon.
La Salle improves to 6-8 overall and 1-1 in conference play, while Temple now stands at 6-9 for the season and is also 1-1 in A-10 play.
La Salle opened the scoring in the 14th minute when Lindsay Fry scored on a pass from Rachel Deaner after a penalty corner by the Explorers.
The 1-0 advantage held for La Salle until the final few seconds of the first half when Mariel Papa scored after a shot and rebounded save by Temple goalkeeper Sarah Dalrymple.
After going into the break with a 2-0 deficit, the Owls came out with intensity and earned a penalty shot less than four minutes into the second half. Bridget Settles took the shot and scored to put Temple on the board.
