After junior guard Tanaya Atkinson missed the first of two free throws, St. Joseph’s student section at Hagan Arena chanted, “You let your whole team down.”
It was a bold statement coming from the fans of a team losing by 20 points with just more than a minute to go in the game.
Atkinson made her second free throw to score the last of her 24 points, which helped lead the Owls to an 86-70 victory against the Hawks in their season opener.
Temple had lost its past four meetings against the Big 5 rival prior to Friday night.
