PHILADELPHIA -Â The Temple women's basketball team returns home for a non-conference game against Old Dominion on Wednesday, Dec. 22 at 12:00pm. The contest comes in part of a doubleheader scheduled with the men's team directly after. The game is scheduled to air on ESPN+.
Before the game, Temple will host a short ceremony for forward Mia Davis in honor of her scoring her 2,000th career point for Temple.
LAST GAME
> In their last time out, the Owls dropped a road contest to Northwestern, losing their second consecutive game.
> Davis took the headlines in the contest scoring her 2000th point for the program, but her 16 points were not enough to bring home a win for the Owls. Trailing by three points early in the fourth quarter, an 11-4 Northwestern run was too much for Temple to overcome as the Wildcats pulled away for the victory.
> Davis: Game-high 16 points, eight rebounds.
> Kyra Wood: career-high 13 points, nine rebounds.
> Jasha Clinton: six points, team-high nine assists.

> After a slow start to the season, sophomore Jasha Clinton has found her groove, averaging 15.0 points per game and seven assists over the past two games.
> Freshmen Aniya Gourdine and Kyra Wood have been key contributors for the Owls as of late. Wood tallied career-highs in both points (13) and rebounds (nine) against Northwestern.
SCOUTING OLD DOMINION
