PHILADELPHIA -- Fresh off a 30-point victory over Sacred Heart on Wednesday, the Temple women's basketball team will continue its non-conference slate on Saturday at Fordham at 2:00 p.m. The Owls (4-4) are looking to snap a three-game skid in the all-time series against the Rams (3-5).Â
Last time out, Temple out-scored Sacred Heart 27-10 in the third quarter, en route to a huge 92-62 win over the Pioneers at McGonigle Hall. Sophomore Alliya Butts led four players in double-figures, notching 24 points also added six assists and six steals. Sophomore Tanaya Atkinson notched her first double-double of the season (and the sixth of her career) scoring 18 points and picking up a game-high 11 rebounds. Senior Erica Covile ended the night with 16 points and seven rebounds, while sophomore Donnaizha Fountain scored 13 points and pulled down six boards.
For the year, junior Feyonda Fitzgerald leads the Owls with 18.1 points and 5.1 assists per game, while Butts scores 14.1 points an outing. Atkinson averages double figures in points with 11.5 a game, while pulling down 5.9 rebounds a contest. Contributing on both ends of the floor are Covile and Fountain, as Covile averages 9.4 points and 6.4 rebounds a game, and Fountain chips in with 8.0 points and 6.0 boards per contest.
In their last action, Fordham dropped a 66-54 decision to Seton Hall at home on Wednesday. The Rams led 34-27 at the break and stretched their lead to 39-31 with 7:07 left to go. From there, Seton Hall grabbed control with a 17-2 run over the next five-plus minutes, closing out the victory.
Samantha Clark paced the Rams with a season-high 19 points to go along with a team-high seven rebounds to share honors with sophomore G'mrice Davis. Hannah Missry finished with 11 points (all in the first half), and Aaliyah Jones tallied eight points with three steals.
Missy and Clark lead the Rams on the season, both averaging near 12 points per game. Clark cleans up on the boards with 8.5 an outing, while Davis is averaging 10.9 points and 8.5 rebounds a contest. The Rams shoot 38.3% from the field but their accuracy increases from beyond-the-arc, as Fordham is 35.5% from long-range.
Temple leads the all-time series with Fordham, 23-6, dating back to 1996, but Fordham has won the last three meetings.
Last time the teams met, visiting Fordham held off the Owls, 71-64, at McGonigle Hall. Temple rallied from a 16-point deficit, cutting the lead to just three points late in the game, but Fordham didn't relinquish their advantage, closing out the win with solid free throw shooting.Â
Tyonna Williams led the Owls with 20 points and four assists, while Fitzgerald had 15 points and three assists. Butts chipped in with eight points and three steals, while Covile had eight points and a team-high six rebounds. Fordham's Emily Tapio led all scorers with 21 points including going 9-10 from the charity stripe. Missry finished with 17, nailing five threes as the Rams shot 47.1% from beyond the arc.Â
