PHILADELPHIA - Temple women's soccer battled in a tough 2-1 loss over ECU in their first conference game Thursday night.

From the opening whistle, the game was a back-and-forth affair, with both sides creating scoring opportunities. ECU tallied their goals in the 32nd and 44th minute. Despite trailing 2-0 at halftime, the Owls responded with aggression. Carly Steinberg scored an impressive left-footed goal in the 47th minute, marking Temple's first conference goal since Sept. 14, 2023. In an attempt to tie the game, Sumaya Togba skimmed the post in the 73rd minute.
