Recapping the Game
> Temple controlled the ball for the majority of the game, but couldn't find the back of the cage.
> Towson scored early in the second quarter off a penalty corner insert.
> The Owl defense shut down the Tigers' attacking game in the fourth quarter, allowing no shots from Towson.
Statistically Speaking
> The Owls and Tigers both fired five shots, with Temple recording three on goal.
> Five Owls each recorded a shot, with Mia Sexton, Kerrie Lorenz, and Dani Batze all putting one on target.
> Cristina Carotenuto posted three saves in the cage for a season total of 47.
Quotable
"Today was a really hard day. We had possession of the ball for the majority of the game, but unfortunately if you can't get on the board then it doesn't matter what you're doing with the ball. Towson was gritty and aggressive, and they played a tough game of field hockey that we didn't adapt well to today." – Temple head coach Susan Ciufo
Next Up
> Temple will return home next weekend to host Big 5 rival Villanova before traveling to Rutgers.
