Box Score

Imparato, Hauefgloeckner score for Temple.

SYRACUSE, N.Y.- Rocco Haeufgloeckner's 89th minute goal secured an upset win for the Temple men's soccer team, as they defeated the No. 10 Syracuse 2-1 on Tuesday night. The win was the Owls' first over a ranked team in three seasons and their second in a row overall.

How it Happened
> The match remained scoreless for much of the first half until Lleyton Imparato found the net in the 36th minute. The Owls capitalized on a loose ball, with Tessho Kobayashi finding Imparato for his first assist of the season.
> Temple nearly made it 2-0 with just over eight minutes to play, as Juan Zepeda fired a close range shot that was stopped by the Syracuse goalkeeper.
> The Orange knotted things up at one with a goal in the 86th minute.
> Hauefgloeckner fired home the game winner less that 90 seconds later, sending it home in transition off an assist from Felix Ewald.

Game Notes

> Hauefgloeckner's goal was the first of his collegiate career. He is the tenth different Owl to score this season.
> Ewald has now scored a point in four straight games. His eight total points lead Temple.
> Imparato joins Ewald as Owls with multiple goals scored on the season.
> The Owls had four shots on goal to Syracuse's two.
> Flannan Riley recorded a clean sheet in his first start since September 11 at St. John's.
