PHILADELPHIA -- The Temple women's basketball team will host Ohio on Thursday in the third round of the 2016 WNIT. The match-up tips off at 7:00 p.m. at McGonigle Hall.
The Owls
• Temple carries a 22-11 overall record, earning a post-season spot for the second-straight year.

• Clinging to a one-point lead with under two minutes to play, Temple used a 6-2 run to gain some breathing room. That final surge made a QU three at the buzzer inconsequential, as the Owls survived and advanced.
