Recapping the Game

> Yale scored the go-ahead goal early in the second quarter, converting its first penalty corner attempt of the day.
> Both offenses were stalled in the third quarter, with Temple firing the lone shot of the frame.
> The Owls fired seven shots in the fourth to find the equalizer, but the Bulldog defense kept Temple scoreless.
Statistically Speaking
> The Owls outshot Yale 16-3, putting eight on target. Agustina Tucceri led both teams with four shots.
> Temple outcornered the Bulldogs 13-2.
> Molly Frey made just one save.
Quotable
> "Yale is really well coached and they definitely competed, so credit to them. Their goalkeeper is very talented and we knew that coming into the game. We could have controlled some things better in field play and in our urgency. We'll look at the film, see what we need to fix, and prepare for a top-10 Virginia on Sunday." – head coach Michelle Vittese
Next Up
> The Owls will host No. 6 Virginia Sunday afternoon, the fourth in a five-game homestand.
