TULSA, Okla.— Temple women's soccer (3-6-3, 1-2 AAC) battled the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (7-6, 1-2 AAC) on Thursday night, falling 1-0 at Hurricane Stadium.
How it Happened
> In the eighth minute of action, senior goalkeeper Morgan Basileo made a diving save to push an early threatening Tulsa shot attempt wide and keep the match notched at 0-0.
> Two minutes later, the Owls had a strong look on goal as Marissa DiGenova played up the right flank and found Gabriela Johnson in the box. Johnson fired a shot, but the Tulsa keeper got a hand on the attempt. Morgan Morocco collected the deflection, but her shot went wide of the post.
> Tulsa netted the only goal of the contest in the 17th minute when Emilie Torres headed in an Ashlan Hustava cross.
> Temple put the pressure on Tulsa's defense in the second half. In the 54th minute, Julia Dolan got off a shot inside the 18, but it was blocked by a defender. Djavon Dupree found the ball and took a sliding shot right into the gloves of the keeper.
> In the 67th minute, Morocco sent a pass to a streaking DiGenova who got a shot off, but Tulsa's keeper came off her line to challenge and make the save.
> One of the most threatening opportunities for the Cherry and White to net the equalizer came in the 77th minute when Johnson found herself open at the top of the box. She ripped a bullet toward the goal, but her attempt veered just wide.
From the Coach
> "Our performance in the second half is the standard that we expect," said head coach Seamus O'Connor. "We need to figure out how to perform like that for 90 minutes. We need to eliminate the individual mistakes, that's just not us. Everything was much better in the second half. We kept the ball in Tulsa's half the majority of the time, that's a next level of pressure. This Sunday against Memphis, we need execute our game plan and put on a better, more consistent team performance."
Up Next
> Temple will continue its road trip on Sunday, Oct. 6 as it travels to No. 9 Memphis to take on the Tigers. Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. ET.
