> All four of Whitaker's shots were on target, and her 10 draw controls led both teams.
> The Owls continue to dominate off the draw, topping the Chanticleers 13-8.
> Each of the keepers saw minutes for the fourth-straight game, with Maryn Lowell recording all four of Temple's saves.

Quotable
> "There's not many things that feel better than winning after a few losses. We've tried not to get too caught up in the winning and losing idea, but it feels great to win. With our tough schedule, we're playing two games a week and we have a short turnaround with La Salle on Tuesday. Being able to have the emotional lift of a win will help us prepare for La Salle." – head coach Bonnie Rosen
