"Even early on, we had control of the game," said Temple head coach Tonya Cardoza. "When you look at the scoreboards, we didn't take advantage of opportunities."
Robinson led the Owls with her first double-double with career highs of 16 points and 15 rebounds. Senior Natasha Thames (Port Huron, Mich.) recorded her fourth double-double of the season (9th of career) with 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Kara Bonenberger paced Penn with 20 points and 12 rebounds, while Sydney Stipanovich added 17 points and 10 boards.
"A lot had to do with things on the defensive end, letting them get points in the paint." Cardoza said. "Our defense just wasn't good today."
Overall, Temple out-rebounded Penn, 50-38. The Owls shot 39 percent (30-78) from the field, and the Quakers shot 45 percent (29-64).
