PHILADELPHIA (Saint Joseph's) - Despite dominating on the offensive end in the second half, Temple field hockey was unable to come up with the equalizer it needed after trailing at halftime, and the Owls lost 2-1 to their crosstown rival Saint Joseph's (1-1). The game was the last of four in the 2016 Conference Cup Tournament, and the Owls now stand at 0-2 after the opening weekend of the season.
Temple tied the game just seven minutes after the Hawks scored the first goal midway through the first half, but Saint Joseph's pulled ahead with four minutes to go in the opening period and that score stood through to the end of the game.
