10.24.10 | Women's Soccer
Conn tallies 10th goal of the year, most for an Owl since 2000
Box Score
KINGSTON, R.I. - Junior Niki Conn netted a pair of goals to propel the Temple women's soccer team (6-10-1, 1-5-1 A-10) past Rhode Island (2-12-2, 2-4-1 A-10), 2-1, Sunday afternoon at URI Soccer Complex. The Owls were down 1-0 before Conn struck with the game-tying and then game-winning goal to give Temple its first conference win of the year.
The two goals put Conn at 10 on the season, becoming the first Owl since Brandi Wright in 2000 to meet the mark which ranks third all-time. She also moves into a tie for third place for points in a single season with 24 (Rachel Bentz, 1991).
Rhode Island took a 1-0 lead in the 20th minute, as A. Ruhe Lische took a blast from 45 yards out that beat Owls' keeper Tara Murphy to the left upper.
Ten minutes later Conn netted her first goal of the game, heading a pass from sophomore Jackie Krostek to the left post to even the score.
The score would remain tied heading into half with each team registering four shots.
Sophomore Brittany Wollner set up the game winner, lofting a pass for Conn which she again headed past URI keeper Sasha Reiber for the eventual game winner.
Murphy (3-6-1) was solid in net in the second half, making one save to secure the win.
The Cherry and White return home for their final two games of the season, taking on Saint Louis and Charlotte. Temple will honor its seniors on Sunday, October 31 prior to the start of the 1:00 p.m. match.
