Recapping the Game

> Temple had three chances in the second half to find the back of the cage, but a pair of saves from Georgetown kept the game scoreless at the half.
> The Hoyas got on the board in the third quarter, scoring after a penalty corner attempt.
> The Owls looked to find the equalizer in the final 15 minutes, but Tess Muller's shot was saved and Georgetown sealed the win.
