Quotable
> "I'm proud of how the ladies responded after Friday's game. It was a long trip and they were tired, but we were able to capitalize on our chances for the win. Now we'll look ahead to a very good Old Dominion team that has the ability to score a lot of goals. The set pieces will be crucial for us, keeping them out of our net and putting them in Brown's." – head coach Michelle Vittese
Next Up
> Temple will continue league play next Friday, playing its final BIG EAST home game against Old Dominion.
