PHILADELPHIA- In his fourth year leading the program, the third true fall season, head coach Brian Rowland led the 2021 Temple Owls men's soccer team through a year of trials and tribulations. Despite weathering many high-profile injuries, the team competed, persevered, and did not quit.
- Prior to the season, 2020-21 first-team All-Conference and 2021 preseason All-Conference selection Sean Karani and projected starting senior Santiago Majewski both suffered season-ending lower-body injuries.
- The squad began the 2021 season with two draws against top-level competition. The Owls opened up the season with a 0-0 draw against the then-No.
