Quotable
"We had a rough first half with little possession, and even though we didn't get the result we wanted we showed improvement in the second half. Each game is a battle. It's a transition season for us so we know that every time we step on the field we have something to prove, and we'll continue to get better every day. Now we're going to focus on taking care of our minds and bodies to get us where we need to be for Sunday." – Temple head coach Susan Ciufo
