With the score tied at five more than midway through the second half of Saturday’s game, Temple coach Bonnie Rosen called a timeout to give her team a break.
The Owls held the University of Maryland Baltimore County scoreless for the final 23 minutes, 46 seconds and scored eight straight goals to earn a 12-5 win at Howarth Field.
“We’d been doing a really nice job, but we looked tired,” Rosen said. “The point of the timeout was to take a breather. We just reminded them about the offense we were running and to defend hard and to cause turnovers that way.
