PHILADELPHIA—Temple women's soccer (4-8-4, 2-4-1 AAC) will wrap up its Florida road trip at RV USF on Sunday, Oct. 20. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m. at USF's Corbett Stadium.
Owl About Us
> The Cherry and White are led by head coach Seamus O'Connor, who is in his seventh season at the helm of the program.
> Temple is captained by junior Julia Dolan and seniors Morgan Basileo, Emily Keitel and Molly Tobin.
> Sophomores Hailey Gutowski and Gabriela Johnson pace the Owls' offense with 10 points (4g, 2a) and nine points (3g, 3a), respectively. Junior Marissa DiGenova and senior Morgan Morocco are also formidable threats in the attacking third, as they have each dished out two assists on the season.
> Basileo has notched 112 saves through 16 contests for the Cherry and White. This tally is good for fourth in the nation and first in the American. She also leads the conference in saves per game (7.00) and is second in save percentage (0.842). The senior owns a 1.24 goals against average, has four shutouts on the year and has notched double-digit saves three times this season (8/22 at No. 23 Wake Forest, 9/12 at Maryland, 10/17 at No. 21 UCF).
> Gutowski earned her second AAC Weekly Honor Roll nod of the season on Oct. 14 for her explosive offensive performance against Houston.
Last Time Out
> Temple took on No. 21 UCF (8-2-3, 3-1-1 AAC) in Orlando on Thursday night, battling the Knights in a hard-fought, physical match that resulted in a 0-0 draw. The Owls defense and Basileo were outstanding in the road contest. Basileo notched 11 saves to help the Owls pick up a point on the road and earn her fourth shutout of the season.
> Temple's defensive organization and skill was the story of the match for the Owls. The squad executed its game plan and earned the draw against UCF due to a full team effort.
Scouting the Bulls
> USF (9-3, 4-1 AAC) is led by Denise Shilte-Brown, who is in her 13th season as head coach of the Bulls. The team is receiving votes in the United Soccer Coaches Poll.
> Last time out, USF hosted UConn at Corbett Stadium. The Huskies got on the board first, but Evelyne Viens scored the equalizer less than two minutes later. The Bulls prevailed against the Huskies as Emma Davies netted the game-wnner with one-minute left in regulation to give USF the 2-1 victory.
> Viens leads the high-powered Bulls offense. The senior forward has 29 points (13g, 3a) and leads the American in points, points per game (2.64), goals and goals per game (1.18). Andrea Hauksdottir (2g, 7a), Sydny Nasello (2g, 5a) and Aubrey Megrath (4g, 3a) are also strong offensive threats for USF.
> Two goalkeepers have seen time in the net for the Bulls this season. Katrina Haarmann has played 695 minutes between the post, tallying 12 saves and earning a 1.17 goals against average. The freshman owns a 5-1 record. Sydney Martinez has 11 saves through 405 minutes of play. She has a 4-1 record and a 0.89 goals against average.
> The Bulls have netted 27 goals this season, averaging 2.25 per game. They have held their opponents to an average of 1.08 goals per game.
Series History
> USF has the advantage in the all-time series against Temple, winning five of the six matchups.
> The teams last met in 2018 at the Temple Sports Complex. The battle between the Owls and the No. 19 Bulls needed overtime to decide the contest. Gabriela Johnson netted the golden goal in the 105th minute to propel the Cherry and White to their first victory over a ranked opponent since 1995 and first ever win over USF.
