Postgame Quotes - Head Coach Marybeth Freeman
> "We just have to play with more confidence. We're a talented team and I think sometimes we just get flustered when we have opportunities and that's when we need to remain solid and consistent. That's on us and we'll look to make adjustments throughout the week."

> "It's one thing to go through the motions of getting shots and another thing to be smarter when we have those opportunities. It's not just about getting the shots, it's about coupling them with vision and seeing where the goalkeeper's not."

Next Up
> Temple will play at Lafayette at 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7 before returning home to host Kent State on Sept. 9.
