Covile scores 1,000th point in win

Senior guard Erica Covile scored 18 points on Monday to become the 23 player for Temple to reach 1,000 points in the Owls’ 78-64 win against Central Florida in the final regular regular season game at McGonigle Hall.

“I am excited and grateful for my teammates and coaches,” Covile said. “If I don’t have that help, I don’t score 1,000 points.”

Covile, who walked on the court before the start of Monday’s game with a bouquet of flowers and her mother Dara Covile, notched her 1,000 point after scoring a 3-point basket on an assist from junior guard Feyonda Fitzgerald to give Temple a 43-34 lead with 6: 44 remaining in the third quarter.
