Box Score
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The third-seeded Temple men's soccer team's trip to the Atlantic 10 Tournament ended sooner than the Owls had hoped, as an early first half goal propelled sixth-seed Xavier to a 1-0 win Thursday night at TransAmerica Field. Temple finishes the season with an 8-9-2 overall record, while the Musketeers advance and move to 9-6-3.
Xavier struck in the 12th minute, as El-Hadji Diend sent a long pass into the box that rolled to the feet of Luke Spencer. Spencer gathered the ball and blasted a close range shot to the center of the net for the only goal of the evening.
The Owls' offense attempted find its rhythm in the first, managing four shots on goal and outshooting Xavier 8-6. The second half would show no improvements for the Owls, however, being outshot 10-4 with only one shot on goal.
