Gomez Sanchez’s goal came on one of his eight shots in the game. He now has 12 goals in 12 games to lead the team. The Owls (8-3-1, 1-1-1) earned their first American Athletic Conference win by beating the Mustangs for the first time in program history.
Temple narrowly got outshot, 17-16, by Southern Methodist. This is only the second game the Owls have been outshot by their opponent. The only other time was against Connecticut, another conference opponent.
