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.
